Welcome to Holland	This poem by Emily Perl Kingsley is a must for all those new parents and carers with a child with special needs.
Celebrating Holland	Follow-up to the original poem Welcome to Holland
My child is not a label	My child is a person in their own right.
Special Child	Special children are sent to special people.
disABILITY Prayer	Some people need to be prayed for...
What you should know about my Child	Sometimes you need to remind some people that this person is "my child"
Reach for the stars	I could just empathise with this mother.
Personal Dragons	Teamwork and understanding.
Maybe you know my daughter	Try to see how much she's the same instead of how little she's different
