CNA938 Rewind - A Letter to Myself: Caring for her brother with special needs inspired Isabelle Lee to become a speech therapist
Isabelle Lee, 19, is on her way to becoming a speech therapist — a decision fuelled by her experience as a dedicated caregiver to her younger brother who has special needs. But when she was younger, Isabelle felt unseen. It's an experience that has been dubbed "glass children syndrome", when the siblings of individuals with special needs feel like their own emotional needs are being overlooked — as though they were made of glass. In this conversation, Isabelle and her mother, Janice, share how their relationship has healed and grown stronger through the challenges of caring for a family member with special needs.
