How many of you have been told that your child will never meet the same milestones as other typically developing children? For some, this is a reality that is hard to come to terms with.
Families must never give up! Believe that the impossible is possible because in many cases it is. The journey may take longer and the road may have several bumps along the way. With early intervention, a loving, nurturing family and extra therapeutic, behavioural, and emotional support a child CAN achieve the things that many thought he/she would never accomplish!
Be inspired and help your family to live life to the fullest! You just never know what little miracles may occur!
Here is a video to help inspire and lift you up as you forge ahead on this journey you are taking with your child! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ROWbyKVLYr8

What's Best For Your Child? Public or Private School?
I work with families all the time who feel trapped by the lack of supports they feel are available to their precious child with special needs.
It might surprise you to know that these families are experiencing frustrations within both the public and private school jurisdictions. Yes, that's right! Placing your child in a private school setting doesn't always solve all your problems.
You must determine the best possible fit for your child. In some cases, that program may be just down the street at your local public school. In other instances, a private school setting may help your child to flourish and progress.
Keep in mind that no one school will be perfect, but finding the program that is as close to perfect as possible is key to making your child's school experience positive and successful!
Which program/school has provided your child with the most success and happiness?

Special Needs Resources
The simple definition of 'resource' is anything that is available to help or aid when it is needed most.
Special Kidz Canada was created to provide online resource information for families, caregivers, teachers, aides and clinicians who live or work with children with extraordinary needs.
The intent of this blog is to give tips, useful information, showcase new service providers and anything else that may be helpful to our blog readers!
We hope to be as insightful as possible, but we don't know everything! We hope that YOU will feel comfortable in sharing any information you may have, too!
