Has your child got special needs?

Monday, April 21st, 2008

I am co-writing a book looking at how to look after your relationship when your child has special needs. We want the book to be packed full of case studies of parents talking about their experiences, good and bad, and how parenting a child with special needs has impacted on their lives. 

I am looking for parents to fill in a questionnaire about their experiences.  If you don’t mind sharing what you have been through, to help other parents, please email mail@antoniachitty.co.uk
