As a parent or caregiver it is important to make sure that your child's education and environment meet his or her special needs. Your child has special abilities and talents. Use your child's abilities to create a plan to make the dreams come true. Brothers and sisters of children with special needs need support and attention, too. Include your child with special needs in activities with all children, both with and without special needs.
Every child is different.
