Raising a child with special needs can be emotionally, mentally, and physically exhausting. You’re tired of answering questions like, “Why can’t she just calm down?” “How come he keeps repeating the same sentences?” “It’s the middle of the winter why is he wearing a t-shirt?” You can hear the judgment in their voices, making you feel like a bad parent. You’ve been wondering what your child’s future will look like because you’re worried they won’t be able to hold a conversation, make eye contact, or connect with peers. You’re afraid they won’t have a normal life when they grow up.
It takes a village to raise a child. You’re not meant to do this on your own. Through our work together, you will receive support from other parents, develop practical advocacy skills for your child, learn successful parenting techniques, and gain access to a comprehensive list of referrals. Most importantly, learn about SELF-CARE!
The first step to self-care is accepting help and no longer trying to figure things out on your own. You can experience love and support from a community that knows what you’re going through. Call now for a free 20-minute consultation, and let me help you through your struggles and develop a strong relationship with your neurodivergent child.
