Family Stories

Read stories written by parents and families in our SOFT community. Our families share real stories and experiences from being diagnosed, raising their child, and dealing with loss.

Parenting a Child

Being the parent of a special needs child can be overwhelming, exhausting and lonely and at the same time be very rewarding and fulfilling. Between finding the right care options for your child, dealing with insurance all while caring for a child with very full time needs sometimes we feel like we just can’t do it. We know you can and we are here to help you along the way.
