This book offers a fun and accessible introduction for the mother or carer of a child diagnosed with AS.

Intended as a support tool in the initial period after diagnosis, Mothering Your Special Child is varied and engaging, and addresses questions or concerns that a mother might have, such as 'What are the characteristics of AS?', 'How did my child get AS?', and 'What happens now?'.

Also included are poems, stories, illustrations and activities to help mothers come to terms with and move forward from a child's diagnosis of AS, and work together with the family to support the child.

Mothering Your Special Child will be essential reading for mothers and carers of children in the initial period after a diagnosis of AS.
