God gives special children only to those whom he prepares to care for them.

The Coffeehouse is pleased to provide this page of resources for parents and educators of special needs children.  As an educator, I know that a special need can mean anything from children living in profound poverty to mentally challenged children.  I truly admire all parents and guardians of these children for I know their experiences require much patience and love. If there are other pages you would like to see included here, please contact me
