What is From the Heart : on Being the Mother of a Child with Special Needs about?

In eye-opening narratives based on their parent support group process, nine mothers explore the intense, sometimes painful, emotional terrain of raising a child with special needs. The children who have helped shape these women's lives have a variety of special needs, including autism, Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, ADD, and multiple disabilities. <p>The successes, setbacks, struggles, and joys shared here cover important aspects of daily life: relationships with professional providers, family life, work, school issues, and feelings about the "self" and closest friends and family members. The common themes that emerge - being heard and feeling understood; dealing with a greater emotional intensity than most parents do; coping; and healing - provide a vivid portrait of what these mothers, and others like them, find most important and most difficult.</p> <p>Stories of 9 mothers raising children w/autism/Down syndrome/cerebral palsy/ADD/etc. </p>
