of Expectations by Judy Winter
Must Read For New Parents Entering The Special Needs Community
Breakthrough Parenting for Children with Special Needs challenges
families and professionals to help children with special needs to reach their
full potential by using a proven motivational, how-to approach. This
groundbreaking and inspiring book provides detailed information on how to
let go of the “perfect-baby” dream, face and resolve grief, avoid the no-
false-hope syndrome, access early intervention services, and avoid the
use of limiting and outdated labels. Also included are specific guidelines for
working with professionals, understanding the law and inclusion, planning
for the future, and insightful interviews with Dana Reeve of the Christopher
Reeve Foundation, Tim Shriver of Special Olympics, and Diane Bubel of
the Bubel/Aiken Foundation.

Personal Review: Breakthrough Parenting for Children with
Special Needs: Raising the Bar of Expectations by Judy Winter
I am a therapist currently working with children with autism in China. I
purchased "Breakthrough Parenting" because it has been a dream of mine
to start a parent support group, but didn't know where to begin. This was
an excellent resource choice! I was deeply moved and challenged many
times over as nearly every paragraph resonated with me. As Winter
honestly shares her heart and her journey, she opened my eyes both to
the parents' perspective (both joys and trials) and the fact that love and
respect for both these parents and their children is vital and life-changing!
Through her bold, positive and hope-filled language, she challenged me to
think and act differently. She challenged me to step up to the plate and be
an advocate. I closed this book a very different person than when I
opened it--more informed, well-resourced (she provides a myriad of
resources and web sites at the end of each chapter), empowered. Her
passion, vision and hope are contagious! I can't wait to empower,
encourage and equip these parents on their journey through "the special
needs parenting woods!"
I highly recommend "Breakthrough Parenting" to ANYONE whose life
touches someone with special needs--parent, teacher, therapist, neighbor,
friend, extended family, caregiver.
