Parent Isolation and Childhood Disabilities
http://www.bellaonline.com/articles/art173768.asp
Mothers of children with disabilities can feel isolated due to insensitive comments and discrimination against their children; feelings of failing at being congenial 'ambassadors' - as well as the usual reasons mainstream moms feel they not living up to an ideal vision of perfect mothering. Whew!

Browsing (and making purchases) at our Amazon aStores benefits the Children with
Special Needs website. There are also links to books and other products beneath
almost every article at the Children with Special Needs website. I appreciate
your support! Most of the books are available at your public library or local
bookstore, but the reader reviews and list of related resources on Amazon have
been helpful to many parents and other advocates.

I am attempting to build a Summer Reading suggestion site, too
