06 Jan Living with a Special Needs Child who has challenging behaviours
When you give birth to any child your dream is to have a perfectly healthy baby who you can take home and care for. Unfortunately, this dream doesn’t always come true, and babies are born who have disabilities, physical, behavioural or both! Of course, as a parent you adapt to the situation quickly and love your child unreservedly, no matter what. Once settled at home you will receive support and advice from many professionals and as your child grows, goes off to a special needs school and then maybe a supported work placement that support will continue.
Maybe your Special Needs young adult will complete a First Aid at Work Gloucester course with a professional company such as https://www.tidaltrainingdirect.co.uk/training-courses/first-aid-at-work/first-aid-at-work-gloucester and go on to help other young adults? Maybe they will achieve success as a chef, florist, handy-man, or photographer, whatever it is your child achieves they will reach their full potential with you by their side.
Living with a disabled child is a challenge that only a parent with a special needs adolescent can appreciate but this different life can bring new hopes, dreams, and experiences that only a disabled young adult can show you. The overwhelming sense of pride when your disabled child feeds themselves for the first time, manages to sit up unaided or just smiles at you is indescribable. Supporting your young adult to achieve their full potential is the best possible outcome for you as a parent and your child.
