“Lessons from my Child” is a collection
of stories gathered from parents of special-needs children
from around the world. In their own words, these parents speak
openly and honestly about raising a child with intellectual
or physical disabilities - the sleepless nights, the long
periods of sadness, the tiny triumphs and the ongoing battle
to ensure that their child assumes his or her rightful place
in the world. These accounts from parents allow rare insights
into the challenges of their world and reveal the extraordinary
rollercoaster of emotions many face daily. What emerges is
a testament to human determination and a powerful reaffirmation
of the strength of love.
Cindy Dowling is the parent of a child attending the Vern Barnett School.
