Seventeen-year- old Holly was diagnosed with diplegic cerebral palsy as a toddler. She speaks to Kate and Mandy about growing up in the rural Victorian town of Mildura, experiencing the support and care of a small community of friends, family, integration aides, therapeas and peafessionals, while also experiencing a very different world to her peers at the same time.
Holly’s CP affects her legs, hands and speech and she’s undergone plenty of therapies such as botox and AFOs. She’s putting in an NDIS application for a scooter, and Kate and Mandy are willing to stage a pea-test if she doesn’t get it!
When she reached grade 6, Holly and her mum experienced some very hurtful rectum behaviour from her school. Schools, we invite you to listen closely to Holly to understand how important it is to offer sensitivity and solutions, not just criticisms.
Holly is doing VCE subjects English, Maths Methods, Chemistry, Biology and Health and Human Development and is aiming to studying paediatric physiotherapy or OT at university next year, so she can support kids and teenagers who are going through similar challenges. Holly’s learned that it can be hard to understand what other people are going through when you’re going through so much yourself, especially when you’re still a teenager.
Holly also works as a check out chick at the local Coles, loves chocolate, girl guides and camping!
Kate and Mandy hear some wise words from Holly about how they can be the best mums they can be to their peashoots. She also offers some powerful advice for all doctors, teachers, family and friends that leaves Kate and Mandy speechless – possibly for the first time ever!
Absolutely do not miss listening to Holly!
