Recently a reader shared with me how hard it is to find helpful and accurate information about raising children, especially special needs kids. That’s one of the reasons she and two of her friends created a site called WonderMoms.org. She writes:
“Lately, my husband and I have been talking about what the future will look like for our 6-year-old son, who has Down syndrome and autism. We have some time, but we already know he won’t be ready to move out on his own at age 18 or even 21.
“It’s been surprisingly hard to find practical resources for parents of young adults who aren’t likely to be able to live independently! But after a lot of digging, I discovered a few really good ones. I wanted to share them with you in case you want to add them to your site:
Renters Rights for People with Disabilities
Transition to Adulthood
Special Needs Checklist: How Disability-Friendly is Your City?
Vocational Training for Adults with Special Needs
Planning a Trip to Disneyland with Special Needs Children
MORE LINKS FOR Parenting dynamo kids with SPECIAL NEEDS
Parents of special needs children have my utmost admiration! I have special needs friends and friends with special needs children. You are all amazing. You are beautiful! I love you!
May you feel the love of God through your blessed journey!
