Everything Upside Down!

Parenting developmentally disabled children will always be a special challenge. It need not be a nightmare. In addition to meeting the usual parenting challenges, parents of disabled children face a gauntlet of added obstacles that can try the resolve and resources of even the strongest families. But navigating the complex medical, educational, occupational, and social issues can be made easier with the right information.

Just found your book, Parenting Your Complex Child, on a library site. I am reading it now. My daughter, Ashleigh, is 12 & has Spastic Paraparesis, which is a neurological disease. She is learning she is different from kids her age & her brother, Noah. Her behavior has been bad. Bad is not the word to describe it. Her attitude towards me is awful. I do have 3 therapists in our home. We have had some changes so her behavior has gotten worse. Ash hates changes.
I forgot to tell you that we had issues with Ashleigh at her schools. We got her a child advocate. It was the best thing we did! No more issues. The child advocates sits there. Asks a few questions. We get what we want. =)
