In Part One of this interview, Beata and Jo discuss finding a school for Kasia and the tremendous choices and sacrifices parent caregivers must make in the face of a devastating diagnosis. Overcoming her own personal grief to go public about Kasia's journey, Beata began sharing her story, and advocating internationally to help raise awareness of SYNGAP1-Related Disorders and the need for finding a cure.
Part 2 will be out in a couple of weeks!
