Being the mother of a special needs child can be challenging.
It can be exhausting.
It has many, many amazing rewards while at the same time it can be so very difficult.
Your child needs you in every way a typical child does in terms of meeting their basic needs, structure, discipline, and sharing time together, but there is also so much more.
Medical appointments, medication, developmental delays, therapy, orthotics, stretching, exercises, IEPs, and research, can consume a great deal of your time and energy.
The additional responsibility of being you child’s advocate, consistently fighting for what your child needs to excel, can be daunting.
