Chicken Soup for Special Needs Children with Special Needs

Chicken Soup for the Soul: Children with Special Needs Children with Special Needs, Stories of Love and Understanding for Those Who Care for Children with Disabilities

Coming this fall in bookstores everywhere this September. A great big thank you to everyone who helped us along the way!

A virtual alphabet soup of physical and mental disabilities is prevalent in today's world. From ADHD to visual impairments, from autism to paralysis, 20 percent of the U.S. population has some form of special need. Multiply that number by the families, friends, teachers, caregivers, and others whose daily lives are intertwined with theirs and it becomes obvious that most of us are in some way touched by someone with a mental or physical disability.




"Chicken Soup for the Soul: Children with Special Needs: Stories of Love and Understanding for Those Who Care for Children with Disabilities" is full of powerful testaments to the love and strength of families, the dedication and promise of teachers and caregivers, and the resiliency and hope.


An excellent gift book or parenting and support resource, topics include:

* Parents who are adjusting with the unexpected

* Families that work together to help their loved one meet everyday challenges

* Teens who struggle with their needs, as they deal with physical changes, relationship issues, and their desire for independence

* Empowering friendships and life transitions. Told with humor and honesty, these are stories that tug at the heartstrings. They are candid and personal and as unique and special as the person they celebrate.


Raising a child with special needs is a lifelong commitment that is as unique as each person who embarks on it. Written by a variety of authors who share in this distinctive relationship, Chicken Soup for the Soul Children with Special Needs offers a glimpse into the lives of others who are on a similar path

If you have a special needs child in your family, are friends with someone with a special needs child, or just want to expand your understanding, this book is a must - read.

I think it would be a very good book for younger persons to read as well, especially those without firsthand knowledge or experience with children or other youngsters with special needs.
