HS 215 Week 2 Supporting Activity: Softening: Loving a Child with Special Needs

Having a child with special needs for some is considered a blessing and for others it is considered a lot of hard work, frustration and love.

Watch “Softening: Loving a Child with Special Needs” in this week’s Electronic Reserve Readings.

Respond to the following questions:

• When you think of the resources made available to families today, and those made available to families 20 years ago, what do you think needs to change?
• How should resources be allocated, and what can be done as community investors to assist families with children who have special needs?
• In your own community do you feel there is enough education about disabilities?
• What would you like to see happen?
• What organizations in your community do you know of that can help?
