Parenting is joyful, frustrating, rewarding and exhausting. Parenting a child with special needs gives you a double dose of it all.

You face challenges most parents never dream of. You juggle doctors, therapists, hospitals, insurance companies, pharmacies and the list goes on. Then there are the emotional and behavioral issues you deal with.  How do you handle a child who forgets to take critical medications or fights medical treatments?  What do you say when a sibling asks, "Will my brother or sister ever get better?"

We can help. Take a few minutes to browse around our website. There are lots of resources here for you including many that are free.

"One of my mantras for many years has been, 'Don’t disable a child with disabilities!' As this program points out so clearly, these children, even more so than children who are not obviously medically impacted, need to be confident, competent, respectful, responsible, and, ultimately, independent."   -Tracy L. Trotter, MD, Fellow of American Academy of Pediatrics, Pediatric & Adolescent Medicine
