Raising a child with disability, autism or other additional needs can make your family stronger. This might be because you share parenting responsibilities more and talk more with your partner.

Raising a child with disability can also be an opportunity to learn from each other. For example, you and your partner might see your child’s needs differently, which is natural. This might mean you deal differently with your child’s behaviour and relate to them differently too.

This web page has plenty of resources to help you access services and understand the issues around raising a child with disability.
