My journey as a mother of a special needs child with cerebral palsy and learning disabilities is what i try and encapsulate in my blog. The resources i have gathered along the way,the lessons i have learnt,the inputs and guidance that I have received over the years is all here.Finding myself in a good place now has enabled me to reach out to similar moms/caregivers like me. My journey still continues... I also write at http://jokumar.blogspot.com/
Hey, just stumbled across your blog. This support group sounds like a great idea! I know it can be so much harder to feel like you're going through it alone. One website I've found to be helpful as well as a great link to the CP community is Cerebral Palsy Family Network. Their facebook page is another great way to connect to other families affected by CP. Anyway, hope you find it helpful! Good luck :)
