Most moms will wake up today with a special day in store — breakfast in bed, maybe a homemade card, or a present that was thoughtfully chosen. For a special needs’ mom, the day is wonderful still, of course, but special needs children don’t always understand the sentiment, and the occasion can pass by ignored or misunderstood. And so Mother’s Day is just another day of challenges from the word ‘go.’
And that’s OK, because those moms are exceptional enough to know that every day is special. Their gifts come in different packages, day in and day out. They do whatever it takes to help their children succeed, and when they do, that’s a gift.
Motherhood is challenging for every mom, but being there of a special needs’ kid changes the game entirely. The stress levels a normal mom experiences when their child needs stitches, for example, is how a special needs’ mom may feel all the time! So let’s think about those moms on this day, too and give them some extra love.
Do you know a special needs mom? Take a moment out of this Mother’s Day weekend to do something sweet for her. Bring a meal, take her to a movie, or give her a day-spa voucher.

So Happy Mother’s Day to every mom out there, but an extra-enthusiastic high-five and Happy Mother’s Day to mothers of kids with special needs!
