This Child Life Month, be sure to thank your Child Life Specialist. Part angel, part superhero, these professionals make medical care bearable for families.

My child with special needs is neither regressing nor making leaps and bounds. Here's why I'm OK with that. I’m happy in the middle.

An inquisitive, unafraid little boy created his own path to inclusion on the playground and paved the way for others by showing me how to get it started.

Our awareness is year-round, but Cerebral Palsy Awareness Month is important. Here's what I wish everyone knew about my son with cerebral palsy.

Sign language for kids with special needs enables our family to communicate effectively, and has been a staple in our lives for over 10 years.

This is why everyone loves my son. He disrupts their sense of normalcy in all the good ways. My non-verbal special needs child makes friends everywhere.

Parents of children with special needs require more than medical training - they need trusted and wise friends to calm them down and boost their spirits.
