Finding friends for your special needs child

http://bit.ly/9h9hIb

Kids want to have friends. But it’s not so easy for special needs children to

find meaningful friendships with others. Some children are shunned because of

physical differences. Others have social and communication deficits that make it

difficult to start and keep friendships. While it is impossible to address the

nuances of every disability, here are some general tips toward finding friends

for your child.

has the same friends she has had since grade school because most of

them attend the same adult program she attends. As new adults enter the

program, she makes new friends. All of them are on the same intellectual

level as she is, so she is no one's pet, nor is she shunned.
