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.

Parenting a child with a disability is a journey, not a destination. Some people have been dealing with this since their child was born. Some people have joined the journey later in their child’s life.

So much I've written about focuses on my child's autism spectrum disorder and ADHD challenges. For just this moment, I want to focus on the absolute, beautiful joy of being his mom.

It’s easy to get caught up in the social challenges that children with disabilities face. But when we consider the progress made over the last 80-90 years, we can be grateful for how far we have come.
