Adapted home is 'life-changing' for disabled girl and her family

Moving into a new home has proved "life-changing" for Sian Lewis and her disabled daughter.

Six-year-old Olivia has a rare genetic condition called DDX3X, an intellectual disability which means she is non-verbal, and has a functioning age of a seven-to-11 month old child.

The family lived at a terraced house in Maesteg but it made life difficult for them. The new house was “fantastic”, said Ms Lewis.

"Living here makes you want to be healthier and happier - and we are," she added.
