Ep 71 - Returning to School After Encephalitis - A Parent’s Journey with Hina & Dian

In this episode, Prav speaks with Hina about her son Dian’s journey with autoimmune encephalitis and the challenges of returning to school after a life-changing diagnosis.

After Dian began experiencing seizures at just seven years old, Hina and her family faced a long and emotional journey through hospital testing, uncertainty, memory difficulties, and major changes in daily life and more recently his transition up to a new school.

Hina reflects back on the past 5 years and shares how encephalitis affected Dian’s learning, confidence, friendships, and family dynamics and how communication, persistence, counselling, and school support helped them move forward.
