Book Description
"These powerful heart-rending stories are filled with honesty, humor, hope and offer inspiration to parents, teachers, and anyone else who cares for children with special needs. By embracing the magnificence, inner peace, and beauty each child possess, our own attitudes are shifted from despair to promise." ???Gerold G Jampolsky, M.D., Founder of International Center of Attitudinal Healing, Sausalito , California Raising a child with special needs is a lifelong commitment that is as unique as each person who embarks on it. Written by a variety of authors who share in this distinctive relationship, Chicken Soup for the Soul Children with Special Needs offers a glimpse into the lives of others who are on a similar path. These stories provide insight, comfort, and connection with others who have walked this powerful and transformational journey. The authors of these candid stories relate their own experiences of adjusting, reaching out, and flourishing and share their universal worries, their tears, and the laughter that come with this extraordinary relationship. Most important, through these stories, you will be guided with the wisdom of fellow parents, caregivers, and those with special needs to help you be the very best parent or caregiver you can be.

Owner Reviews, Ratings, Comments and Criticism
Yes, one of my stories is featured in this book. But that is not the reason I am writing here. After reading the other stories, I realized what an honor and privilege it is to be included in such outstanding company as the other contributing authors. The courage, the compassion, the insight and determination inspire me for those "bad" days that I know will continue to happen and remind me that a day is just a day and not a lifetime. I first encountered Chicken Soup and it's inspiration when I attended my first IBI Conference in Ca. a few years ago. There,I met and was coached by Lisa Nichols, another Chicken Soup author and I knew that inspiration was always at hand if I could be around people like Lisa. Also, it was a wonderful opportunity to speak out about mental illness and it's affect on our children. So please, read this book and let it touch it in a very special way. It's just real people, telling their story.
