When life gives you lemons, you need hope. And a way to handle them. Because how you approach, process, and transform life's difficulties makes all the difference, especially for parents facing the sometimes sour experiences of raising special needs children with developmental, behavioral, and/or health needs. Structured around the steps of a recipe for making lemonade, emotional stories from special needs parents, including the author, are woven together with practical strategies from a Christian world view. The result is a transformational, uplifting, virtual support group that will encourage you to face whatever lemons you face in the kitchen of life. MAKING LEMONADE is a must read for not only parents but for professionals who work with children with special needs. (Specific issues covered include autism, mosaic Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, tuberous sclerosis, Cornelia de Lange syndrome, cancers, and ADHD.)
