The above video is on parents as the main decision-makers for the child’s health management.

The video is a part of parent empowerment series that talks about ‘Marital health when raising a child with special needs’ with Akila Vaidyanathan. She is the founder and director of Amaze Charitable Trust.  

In this video, Akila emphasises the importance of making adjustments by all in equal measures for the collective well being of parents as well as children. It is important that as a parent you understand what are your choices and you talk about them and engage in some gentle negotiation with your near and dear. Information and involvement are key in getting other family members involved and understanding the point of view of parents. Parents are the main decision-makers for the child’s health management but it is important to filter advice and take help from near and dear.

You can also check out the video on unequal caregiving roles within family.
