My Special Child: Part 1
The Autism News | English
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — One in six kids between three and seventeen years old have a developmental disability. This includes serious conditions like autism, blindness, and Down Syndrome. Fox 4 is now helping bring awareness to the issue. We’re also bringing you new resources and the most recent research being done to help parents and caregivers of children with special needs.
When a baby is born, parents, like Elise McMillan, don`t know how their journey with their child will unfold.
“Having a child with special needs has been very different than what I had expected when we first found out that Will would have a disability,” McMillan said. “Having Will in our family has taught us patience, to appreciate the small things and has taught us what an important part in society people with disabilities play.”
Will`s siblings, Jim and Kate, don`t treat him any differently than a sibling without special needs.
