Mother of Special needs child.

I have a 16 years-old special needs child. She is labeled MR according to IQ evaluation. Along with her mental evaluation she has also been diagnosed with; Resistance Thyroid Hormone, Micrognathia, acid reflux, asthma, ADHD, processing disorder, mood disorder, trio gene disorder.


She has had many of these diagnosis since birth. I spend much time with doctors and therapists, so I know many of the medical terms and how to deal with them.


I feel my experience raising her and dealing with her diagnosis puts me in a greater advantage to understand how to work with children with special needs.
