2001-10-11 Action Steps for Parents of Special Needs Children

Raising a child with a child with a learning disability has its special challenges and rewards. It helps to be especially proactive. Parents who are concerned about a child’s development should get help and advice right away; it may prevent some developmental delays. They can start by talking to their child’s caregiver, doctor, or teacher. It helps to make notes and lists of questions for meetings, which can be stressful.

And it is always good to remember that a special needs child has special abilities and talents, too.
