Look through the parents' eyes. Helping parents of children with a learning disability.
1. The loss suffered by parents of children with learning disabilities is similar in some ways to a grief response, and must be clearly acknowledged. 2. While forming an identifiable group, parents of children with learning disabilities have individual abilities and needs both as people and as parents. 3. Adjusting to life with a child with a learning disability is often a long process marked by times of crisis, when extra professional intervention may be necessary. 4. Parents and professionals can work together, learning from each other and ultimately increasing the quality of life for the person with the learning disability.
