One of our Facebook Friends pointed us in the direction of Kat's Cafe. it's a blog set up by and about Kat who is a Mum with a special needs child. she has started a Blog Hop (spreading the word about similar blogs. We've just signed up for the whole hop. So if you fancy taking a look at other blogs on the theme of special needs i'd encourage you to take a look at:

or have a look at them all below.
One of the blogs already in the chain (if that's the right jargon) is about a Mum of a Williams Syndrome child, (Adventures with Baby J and Bean).
