Publisher's Synopsis
Do you have a child with special needs? We do too, and it's exhausting, overwhelming, and impossible at times. Over the years, with lots of trial and error, we have learned a great deal about what works and what doesn't work so well in caring for our daughter Rebecca who has a very rare genetic disorder called Phelan-McDermid Syndrome. We have written this book to share our life lessons on how to make the most of a very challenging situation, how to avoid some of the pitfalls, and to help you enjoy your life to the fullest with your family. The Special Needs Parent Handbook provides practical advice for any parent of a child with special needs, from those with mild learning disorders to severe cases of autism, cerebral palsy, or other disabilities. Learn more about hiring babysitters and getting free respite help, finding the best doctors, and keeping the family together.
