"Parenting an Adult Child with Disabilities" is a series on eSpeciallyBen. As Ben approached 18, it was clear our role changed as parents. We needed to help Ben transition into adulthood. These stories are meant to assist other families who face, or will face, some of the same challenges.

These stories describe our journey with Ben, our oldest son. Ben is a sweet and energetic redhead, born with Rett Syndrome, a rare genetic mutation. My husband, Ryan, and I try to keep up with Ben and his two younger brothers. I intend to shed insight into raising a child with disabilities and pass on the wisdom we’ve earned over the past two decades.
I shared this on Facebook Monday and my sister posted it on her page, too. I think she bonded with your blog even more because she works in student development for a university in Ohio...she must have read through your posts about team building.
ReplyDeleteGood luck! I think the last I saw before the polls closed you were far ahead of the other team :)
I did not know that about your sister. I would love to know what exactly she does - tell her to email me sometime. Thanks!
