Parenting Children with Special Needs (Loyola Press)
David Rizzo has a daughter with Autism. At first he saw this as a burden that he didn't think he could bear. As time went on he realized it was a gift. An outgrowth of his journey with his daughter is a book entitled Spiritually Able: A Parent's Guide to Teaching the Faith to Children with Special Needs. It is a practical guide for parents taken from his experience. It offers a great deal of helpful guidance on how to help nurture a special child's relationship with God and the Church.
Resources and Contacts for Parents with Special Needs Children (NCPD)
Many parents with Children who have special needs may feel isolated in their parishes. Despite their desire that their children be fully initiated into the Church often parents are told that their child should not receive the sacraments. The National Catholic Partnership on Disability is a great resource for parents who are searching for a more positive approach and resources to help them open some doors for their children.
