Special Needs Blogs and Books Recommended by Parents  
Have time to read you say? No way, you say. I'm the parent of a child with special needs and I spend most of my time online doing research ! While it can be difficult to find the time, reading can provide a perspective that can enhance your knowledge and help reduce the sense of isolation. We've compiled a list of books and blogs recommended by parents so you can get the most out of your summer reading.


Kids of all abilities are excited that summer is finally here! No more school often means that it's up to the grownups to entertaining the troops!
