Hi, thank you for visiting my blog. I’m Alison, I live in the UK and I sometimes write about my experiences as a parent of two children with additional needs including Down’s syndrome (the apostrophe is ok by the way – it’s what we do here in the UK, but without is fine too), Autism and Dyspraxia. Mostly I just write about what I observe and what I’ve observed most is love.

Hi there! My name is Kristi Campbell and I’m a special needs blogger. As my son Tucker has gotten older, I’ve not wanted to share about him as much so a friend and I started a new site for parents who have children with special needs and I’d LOVE to feature some of your previously published content there. You can find us at http://breaktheparentingmold.com/.
Thank you for your consideration!
