We have a new Featured Parent to introduce you to!

 

Fun and Function: Who are you and your kids?

Heidi: I'm Heidi and my son is Korbin, 6.

 

FF: What is the nature of their special needs?

H: Aspergers and C-costomy Button (last 2 feet of colon do not work).

 

FF:Where can we find your blog?

H: I write at Korbins Care.

 

FF: What would you say is your biggest challenge in raising a child with special needs?

H: Patience can be very difficult.

 

FF: What would you say is your greatest joy in raising your child?

H: What I get to see in him - his zest for life and his compassion for people!

 

FF: What would you say has been the biggest help you in raising your kids?

H: The discovery of what Aspergers is all about through the different books and reliable websites.

 

FF: Give us one tool you would hate to live without.

H: The iPod! There are so many wonderful apps that teach him and keep him busy!

 

FF: If you could give one piece of advice to another parent who's child has just been diagnosed, what would it be?

H: Watch the movie, Temple Grandin. It's an amazing movie that answers questions that we didn't even realize we had.
