  NICHCY offers a 16-page publication called Parenting a Child with Special Needs. A Spanish version, called Cómo Criar un Niño con Necesidades Especiales, is also available. The publication is written primarily for parents new to the disability experience and shines a light upon emotional reactions that parents may experience and the lessons others have learned. You don't have to be a parent of a child with disabilities, though, to find this document illuminating. If you're working with parents, this publication opens a window into what it means to have a child with a disability.
