Welcome to our blog - again. Rachel and I started this blog a few weeks ago but due to a technical error we lost our data and are now starting over. So, once again I welcome you to our blog and we hope that you come back and visit often.

Rachel and I are both mothers of special needs children and we know how difficult it can be raising a child that, although looks perfectly normal, does have some issues to deal with. We know how the behavior of a special needs child can often be mistaken as just ‘being naughty’ due to the fact that they don’t have any physically obvious looks of any medical problem.

In fact, I myself at first thought that my son was just going through a stage of bad behavior and I waited for him to outgrow it. It wasn’t until this behavior increasingly got worse over a few years to the stage that we then knew it was not just normal ‘being naughty’ behavior.

Sometimes it isn’t easy getting your child diagnosed when they don’t have all the obvious symptoms and the whole diagnosis process can be very frustrating. These are just some of the reasons that Rachel and I got together to create our site at http://www.ourexceptionalkids.com  and this blog, so that we could share our experiences and our knowledge and so our visitors could read ‘real’ information from mothers who have lived it.

So we hope that you do gain some help from our site and blog and please feel free to leave us comments here on the blog. If there is anything that you would like to see included in our site or blog or even if you would like to tell us your story and we could publish it on our blog, then please leave a message in our comments.

If you haven’t already done so then have a look at our site http://www.ourexceptionalkids.com  

Take care
Sheryl
