Siblings, diagnosis, and education – additional areas of importance

It was good to listen to the course leaders' personal experiences, which were enlightening & will hopefully provide some help to me in the future

It was great to hear from other parents & learn that they have similar experiences; I felt a sense of solidarity for the first time on our PDA journey
