Raising two young children with disabilities was at times overwhelming. I worried a lot. Would I be equipped to meet their complex learning needs? What resources were available to help me navigate the road ahead? How would I prepare them for life after high school?
Looking back, I realize some of the most helpful information and guidance I received in those early years was from other parents. So, now that my children are older, I’d like to share some of my favorite resources and suggestions.
While no two parents will have the same “Top 15” list, sharing our personal experiences and resources is so important to helping other families of children with disabilities. I hope one day that you will share your “Top 15” list. After all, we are all on this journey together.

Working from home brings priorities into focus. I am a caregiver first and everything else second.

Even if it has been a long time, it’s important for caregivers to start taking care of themselves. Catching up on my healthcare and doing things just for me has made me happier and healthier.

Who was it that said “Nothing is constant except change?” I wish that person could tell those of us who don’t love change, even good change, how to manage it.
