Episode 10: Putting In The Work With Caroline Claflin

In today’s episode, we are joined by Caroline Claflin, parent to Darwin and co-founder of the MEF2C Family Foundation.

Caroline joins us to discuss Darwin’s journey to diagnosis, her adventures in being an MCHS parent, and tips and tricks learned along the way. We also speak about the MEF2C Family Foundation and its role in the community. Some highlights include:

  • The power of a mother’s intuition and how it led her to seek diagnosis

  • The work that people with MCHS put in every day

  • The therapies that have been most impactful for Darwin

  • The importance of independence for children like Darwin

  • The relationships between special needs and typical siblings

  • Caroline’s experiences in advocating for resources

  • The personal growth that comes from parenting someone with MCHS

  • What Caroline’s hopes for the MEF2C Family Foundation are

And so much more!
