You can buy the products at any convenience or grocery store or by mail order.

  12. Special needs children deserve the chance to be extraordinary

    Raising a child is like doing a puzzle in the dark. You get two pieces together and think, &quot;Finally, I know what to do," not realizing there are a hundred more pieces scattered across the room. For the parent of a special needs child, that puzzle has a thousand pieces flung across a minefield. I know. My husband and I have been navigating that field for the last 11 years.
