This thread is a summary of http://www.mummysg.com/forums/f97/introduction-childs-medical-condition-chat-14805/ - for new members who are parenting child with special needs to find us/kaki easily.
"Special needs" are commonly defined by what a child can't do -- by milestones unmet, foods banned, activities avoided, experiences denied. These minuses hit families hard, and may make "special needs" seem like a tragic designation. Some parents will always mourn their child's lost potential, and many conditions become more troubling with time. Other families may find that their child's challenges make triumphs sweeter, and that weaknesses are often accompanied by amazing strengths.
Those of us who have special needs children know just how hard it is to find the resources and assistance that we need in order to be able to do our best for our kids. MummySG has specially created this forum for parents like us to chat, share and vent!
No one knows our reality until they have walked in our shoes, knowing that we understand your frustration. Remember, you are NOT ALONE!!
