siblings and special needs

Announcement

Families who have children and young people with special needs very often deal with similar life styles. We have all had concerns ranging from education,acess to services,respite and other issues directly related to their childrens needs. Parents of disabled children bring families together for friendship, to share information and to support one another.

The forum was created by parents who have children with special needs and is run by parents so we are all in this together. With us you will realise you are not alone

Parents of disabled children launched in October 2009 and we are growing day by day and are fastly becoming a major support resource for all

Hi to be honest i think that there is no 'normal' children I have 3 children, Lucie has Goldenhar syndrome which is a craniofacial disorder, Kayleigh has a bladder weakness and Kyrie has an allergy to fat and asthma!
I think every child has problems but in varying degrees Kayleigh and Kyires are relatively minor compaired to Lucies, but it could be said i have three cchildren who are have some kind of special need!
We were also told that we had a 7% chance of having another child with Lucies condition but our chances of having a child with her condition in the forst place was only 3% . These odds seem high to me as i'm in the 0,01% of people who fall pregnant on the pill (lucie) and usingcondoms (Kyrie) lol
