Julia Roberts is founder of Support for Special Needs and has been a regular contributor since its inception in May 2010. A mom to two kids with special needs, she didn't want other parents to feel what is the often isolating world of raising a child (or two!) with disabilities. Her kids had kidney transplants at the age of eight and will need liver transplants in the future as a result of ARPKD/CHF. They both have vision disorders and learning disabilities.
Do you know of any support groups in the Cleveland, OH area for siblings of children with special needs?
Thank you.
I’m sorry, I don’t. I think the best place to start is the state… and any places for adults with disabilities. Good luck!
