Building Mainstream Relationships for Unique Children
Family Advocate Karen Kain is CEO of Lorrin's World. She shares her 15 years of raising her daughter Lorrin, who was blind, non-verbal, and a quadriplegic with a seizure disorder. Lorrin lived a full life: friends, slumber parties, concerts, Girl Scouts, and travel. She swam with dolphins, participated in the school play, and she and her canine companion won first place at her middle school Halloween dance contest. Karen discusses how she set goals, got creative, and made a decision to live a life without boundaries.

Karen's daughter Lorrin, was injured by her DPT vaccine in 1994. Lorrin was only six weeks old and her body was severely affected, leaving her with an uncontrolled seizure disorder. Lorrin lived for 15 years in a body that most people saw as a tragic. Her spirit shone beyond her physical body and Karen became a student in a journey of life and love. Karen speaks around the US, sharing her experience and reminding families to be in the moment and enjoy their children, no matter their abilities.
