Casey Connors, a 12-year-old from Clondalkin, faces the challenges of recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa, impacting her daily life significantly. As she prepares to transition to secondary school this autumn, her family and the charity Debra are actively involved in facilitating this shift. They aim to ensure her peers and teachers are informed about her condition to foster understanding and support. Casey's mother emphasizes the importance of this milestone, while a specially created video will help explain EB to her classmates, aiming for a smooth transition into this new chapter of life.
It's an enormous milestone in any child's life, starting secondary school, let alone for someone living with EB.
Casey is excited for this next step and feels completely ready, without seeing the challenges ahead as obstacles.
Debra has been working with Casey's secondary school and primary school, St Ronan's National School in Clondalkin, to help make the transition as smooth as possible.
A two-minute animated video will be used to help explain in simple language to Casey's classmates what EB is and how it affects her life.
