Intended as a support tool in the initial period after diagnosis, Mothering Your Special Child is varied and engaging, and addresses questions or concerns that a mother might have, such as 'What are the characteristics of AS?', 'How did my child get AS?', and 'What happens now?'. Also included are poems, stories, illustrations and activities to help mothers come to terms with and move forward from a child's diagnosis of AS, and work together with the family to support the child.
