12 engl. | With a sibling's view: How the Irish Dr. Fionnuala Tynan is researching WS with teenagers and puppets ...

In this episode, Dr. Fionnuala Tynan takes us on a trip to Ireland
and how her younger brother Jarleth shaped her childhood and choice
of career. How she first read about Williams-Beuren syndrome in the
early 1990s. And Fionnuala talks about how she taught her brother
at school and why many families are burdened early on about whether
they should send their child with WBS to a mainstream or special
school. We also talk about how she and 12 children and young people
came to develop a new educational guideline for WBS and why it is
called MOWL. She gives tips on why puppets are important in
educational and research practice. What her most important lesson
from the last WBS research project was. And many more interesting
insights!
