How to Assist Special Families



Do you ever think about how tough it is to rear a child with a special need. The need can be emotional, mental, physical, educational, behavioral or interpersonal. Any type of a problem can result in impacting the parents and siblings in ways to numerous to count.

Our research delved into the deepest needs of parents and came up with some surprising needs. We spent a year and over 7000 hours of research asking families about their stresses, joys and challenges. Here are some of the things they said.

No body asks the parents or siblings how they are doing. This is despite the fact that rearing a typical child is difficult, having a child with a serious delay or illness can push every possible imaginable in the other family members.

Do you know anyone with a special need child? Do you tune in tho their needs, feelings and joys? Have you ever taken them aside and probed into how they are doing?

What percentage of families in Ohio are impacted?
How many families is that in Ohio or your state?
