Expectations and Realities: Parenting an Adopted Child with Special Needs
Is your child emotionally acting much younger than their age? Have special needs you weren't expecting? Behaviors that resemble ADHD?
You are not alone. These challenges are common for post- institutionalized children. Finding help, however, can be difficult.
Join us for a webinar featuring Martha Osborne, adopted person, adoptive mom and founder of the largest special needs adoption advocacy website, RainbowKids.com. Martha will lead an "in the trenches" discussion on how parents can get connected and supported.
- Learn how to build a plan to manage undiagnosed special needs
- Consider new, outside the box suggestions on how to address unexpected cognitive and emotional delays
- Understand how proactive parenting can help
The National Lekotek Center, a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, provides an array of services to improve the lives of children with special needs through the utilization of toys and play. Learn more about their Family Play Sessions and Toy Lending Library.
