The journey you didn’t choose. The joy you didn’t expect.
Caring for a child with special needs is a full-time job, an undertaking that cannot be imagined until you’re thrust into a life you never saw coming. It can feel overwhelming and isolating. Often, special needs parents have little free time, energy, or money.
Dr. Joe and Cindi Ferrini, parents who’ve been caring for a special needs child for over 40 years, understand. In The Special Needs Parent, Joe and Cindi share honestly and openly about their own struggles and victories. With biblical wisdom and helps they’ve learned along the way, this book shares how to:
• embrace your journey of caring for a loved one with special needs
• experience a vibrant and thriving life yourself
• celebrate your loved one
• serve with excellence and Christlike love
Additionally, The Special Needs Parent provides invaluable action steps for coping with unique challenges, including when others are unkind, the lack of free and fun time, the stress of finances, and grief. Emphasizing our relationship with God, this book is filled with hope and practical ways to build a strong life, marriage, family (nuclear and extended), and to flourish with a foundation of faith. You’ll discover you’re not alone and how to embrace this unexpected journey with confidence, grace, and strength—all of which God provides—to go the distance.
