Sean, Logan and Ben |
This blog is about our journey through the world of a child with special needs. It is our hope that by sharing our experiences we can help other families who may be in the same situation. Ben is a sweet energetic red-head with two younger brothers, Logan and Sean. My husband, Ryan, and I try to keep up with all of them. These stories are intended to shed insight into our lives and also pass on the wisdom we have earned over the past several years.
When I started to write at eSpecially Ben, my intention was to help other families who may be experiencing similar situations while raising a child with special needs. To my surprise, the site has grown to a place where I learn along with my readers as new issues develop. While relying on my inspiration, our son Ben, I take one day at a time. eSpecially Ben tries to show all the sides of parenting a child with special needs - some posts make readers cry, laugh and on a really good day, think.

Writing has proven to be a great way for me to share my feelings and express my emotions. And in the process, I have made amazing connections with so many other families. I hope to continue writing and perhaps pursue other subjects, even fiction, in the future.
