Mike Graglia, SRF Managing Dir. & SYNGAP1 Dad to Tony. Going back to school can be difficult. Tony’s experience shows that it’s so much harder for kids with SYNGAP1!
Show Notes
Going back to school is difficult for most kids and their families, but for those living with SYNGAP1 and other rare diseases, it is especially hard! Mike Graglia, SRF Co-Founder & Managing Director and Dad to Syngapian Tony, joins Ashley again to talk about a crisis his family experienced on Tony’s first day at a new school. It’s easy to talk about the joy we experience with our special kids, but it can be gut-wrenching to discuss (and hear about) the hard days. That makes it so important to share these stories – to make sure our community and those around us can prepare for these possibilities to the best of our abilities. Please, if you have a story to share, email us at [email protected]. Thank you for listening!
