“INSPIRATION”
Star Light, Star Bright, First star I see tonight, quickly become the center of family
I wish I may, I wish I
might, have the wish I
wish tonight.
I wish that my sister
could walk and talk and
do all the things that we
can do. Because most
of the time she is left
out or in hospital (she
has been in the hospital
for most of this year).
She feels really
uncomfortable and she
can not eat.
She is really special.

Northeast Regional Early Intervention Collaborative
A child with special needs can
attention, for better or worse. While
an intensive focus on therapy and
treatment can be good for the child
receiving them, they can often leave
siblings feeling neglected — and if
one parent is taking on most of the
burden or disagrees with the course
being followed, strain can show in a
marriage as well. The good news is
that help and support for individual
family members and the family in
general is often only a mouse-click
away.
