Are you parenting a special needs child? Please tell me about your needs.


I am writing a book about the emotional challenges parents face while raising a special needs child. My book focuses on what you as a parent need, your emotional experiences, and how you can survive and even thrive in this demanding parenting role.

I would really like to hear your perspective on parenting a special needs child. If you would like to contribute by sharing YOUR experiences, please complete this Special Needs survey. To complete the survey CLICK HERE

Your responses are confidential, but I may choose to excerpt some of your shared wisdom and quote you in my book! (Any identifying data would be removed or changed, of course). As a parent of special needs children myself, I know that your spare time is valuable. The survey should take about 10 minutes to complete. Thank you in advance for sharing your parenting experiences with me.
