Abstract
In this video, Judith McKenzie and Marlene le Roux discuss the mother's perspective of parenting a child with severe to profound intellectual disability. They share their experiences with the medical system and the mental care system and the inability of these institutions to provide personal support and emotional care. Marlene le Roux speaks of the importance of structure, engagement, routine, and community care and support from the community in raising a child with disabilities. Marlene also speaks of the importance of respecting and honouring the professional caregivers who provided care support for her disabled son. Lastly, she discusses how her son contributed to the family and to her life.
