Children struggling with special needs stemming from learning disabilities, ADD, and ADHD have challenges in school, at home and in the community.  For example, parents may observe that their child experiences homework as “torture,” self-esteem may be lower as their child feels “different” or “less than" siblings or peers, or their child’s frustration results in disruptive behaviors that need to be stopped.  Parents may be also frustrated when they feel they must badger school administrators for simple learning accommodations for their child.

When the boundlessly energetic grandmother or tough-as-nails dad is no longer able to take care of him- or herself in the most basic ways, it can conjure up a whole range of feelings:  sadness about the loved one's advanced age, worries about who will care for that family member, even fears about one's own mortality.
