WORDS OFCAREWORDS OFCARE

A special child is not a curse, but a gift

... a gift which challenges us to respond

with enormous energy and dedication.

Finding a way to help that child, to be

there in the most loving, supportive and

facilitating way possible is, in effect, to

express the most powerful and humane

part of ourselves. Such a process is a

daily, moment-to-moment treasure for

all of us.
