Pamela Wilson is a Pacific Northwest writer who has been active in advocating for children and families for many years.

You may have enjoyed her articles published in parenting magazines and newspapers across the country, or children´s software or book review columns in Seattle area publications.

Pamela started her writing career when she was still an undergraduate at the University of California, Berkeley, working as a research assistant in the College of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science.

She was inspired to start writing about children and family issues following the birth of her daughter. This naturally expanded when her son was born with Down syndrome, and again at the age of 7 developed insulin dependent diabetes.

Pamela has been active in organizing parent support for mainstream as well as childhood disability groups; promoting inclusion, diversity and multicultural awareness; volunteering in special education preschool PTA activities, mainstream classrooms, Campfire, Girl Scouts, Cub Scouts, little league, girls softball; and served on the city Human Services Advisory Committee, Housing Task Force and as a community partner in a neighborhood law enforcement grant program.

Everyone is welcome here. The Special Needs Children website aims to be a resource for friends, neighbors, extended family, medical or education professionals, and advocates who seek and share accurate, helpful information.

Together, we can create a community that values and celebrates each child, and every stage of development. They amaze us with what they can do given the opportunities we create for them. Let´s show them how to enjoy some fun, friendship and laughter along the way.
