Grandparents of children with special needs, unlike parents and teachers, don’t always have the facts they need to understand their grandchild. This special resource offers grandparents the information they need to realize the valuable role they play in the lives of their grandchild, giving advice on how they can offer support to better their grandchild’s self-esteem and quality of life in school, at home, and with others. Conditions such as learning disabilities, ADHD, Asperger’s syndrome, autism, Tourette’s disorder, speech and learning delays, and emotional and behavioral problems are discussed.
