Writings by Parents on Raising a Child with Special Needs

Edited by Cindy Dowling, Neil Nicoll, Bernadette Thomas

A resource for parents of children with special needs, this book offers comfort, consolation, and wisdom from parents who have been there—and are finding their way through.

The writings collected here are grouped into chapters reflecting the progressive stages of many parents' emotional journeys, starting with grief, denial, and anger and moving towards acceptance, empowerment, laughter, and even joy. Each chapter opens with an introduction by Neil Nicoll, a child and family psychologist who specializes in development disorders. A great source of wisdom that speaks not only to parents and families of children with special needs but to anyone who wants to learn how to transform life's challenges into blessings.
