Books to read

Some interesting books to read:
"Beyond the Veil" by Pauline Grogan
"What to do with you Brain Injured Child" by Glenn Doman and Keith Pennock's book on the same subject
"Doran" and "The Other Child" both by Linda Scotson.

If anyone has any other good books for us to read relating to having a special needs child, please send them to me. I am also going to try and set up a database of schools in the Western Cape which cater for our special children. There does not seem to be 1 central place where a person can get this kind of information. There are also apparently places where your child can go for a weekend to give Mom and Dad a bit of a break which cater specifically for special needs children. These are all things which the special needs community should be able to find quite easily and I aim to set up a separate website for this. Any other ideas on things which would be useful to have online please let me know.

KIDS

Welcome to KIDS also known as the Special Needs Support Group of Tableview. This blog is going to provide a forum where the parents in the group can air their views, share information, share special moments of joy or sadness and generally communicate with each other. Each person in the group will be able to send a post directly to the blog or can ask me to put one in for them. It is up to the individual as to how much or how little you wish to share with the world.
