A proud mother of two, Migdalia Morales first connected with Raising Special Kids after learning through a parent support group about the workshops offered in Spanish on various topics. She quickly became involved as a volunteer, and after two years as a Parent Leader helping other parents of children with disabilities, Migdalia truly appreciates the rewards of parent-to-parent support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThere have been many benefits of being a volunteer at Raising Special Kids. I am especially grateful when the parents I contact express how relieved they are to share their concerns with another mother. They realize they are not the only ones who are going through the difficulties of raising a child with special needs.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Migdalia has the same dreams for her son with disabilities as all parents do for their children\u2014a good quality of life, to be a productive member of his community and \u201cto never lose his smile.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cRaising Special Kids has been very helpful for my family,\u201d she added \u201cbecause, thanks to their workshops and advice, I learned how to cope and defend the rights of my son in a more effective way. Each of my calls has been answered in a very short time, and they have given me valuable information.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAs a Parent Leader, I feel useful and I know that in order for what I have learned to have the most value, I must share it.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
