Filmmaker Karen O'Donnell explores the frustrations of Denise Difede, a single mother trying to get the proper care for her three kids, two of whom cope with learning disability and the third with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The film follows this family through pivotal points in their self-discovery and illuminates the challenges they face in their desperate attempts to navigate complex educational and medical institutions. It also offers hope through a learning disabilities advocate and unconventional therapy. Karen O'Donnell has tackled the issue of learning disabilities in her previous documentary for TVO, Odd Kid Out, in which she shared her own struggles as a parent of a child with ADHD. |
