Sometimes parents of children with special needs face the challenge of feeling like you're the only one out there. Alone. It’s tough on those days, even if you have friends and family who support you. Unless they have children with disabilities too, it’s hard for them to relate to what you’re going through.
That’s why it’s so important to find support from others who “get it”. And if you can’t connect with parents of kids with special needs live and in-person, we always have the Internet! There is an assortment of blogs created by parents just like you who can offer knowledge, tips, and encouragement for parents of children with special needs. Here is a sprinkling of what’s out there for you to feel like there are others in the world who understand you completely.
This is a robust online group of bloggers who offer knowledge, information, and stories about rearing kids with special needs.
