Special Needs Parenting

Special Needs Parenting Feature Writer: Lynn Moore

Parents of special needs children have big challenges and lots of joys. Whatever the disability: autistic, ADD, ADHD, learning disabled, developmentally delayed, behavior disordered, deaf, blind, Down Syndrome, or physically handicapped the child is a child first!

We will address parents' special education concerns (inclusion, speech, OT, PT) and at home concerns (discipline and self-care to finances and job goals). The articles here will include baby to teen topics. Join in a Special Needs Parenting discussion or follow the blog.
