One Family's Account of the Early Years with a Child who Has Special Needs Since their initial shock at their daughter's disability, Karina's parents have experienced the challenges and joys of raising a child with special needs. Her parents have taken advantage of available services and programs--and their own imaginations--to devise stimulating activities to assist her to develop to her full potential. This is the account of Karina's first six years. It is a valuable resource for the families of Down Syndrome children, teachers and disability service workers.
