Blogs for parents of kids with special needs are all over the web these days. Back in the olden days, parents had a hard time finding blogs that spoke to their circumstances. Now the challenge is to wade through the flood of choices to find the really, really good ones.

3 Special Needs Blog Recs from Not-Alone.org

Thankfully, Mike Woods is all over the situation. Not only has he rounded up 20+ special needs parents to blog at Not Alone, myself included, but he also featured several other top notch blogs and reviewed them in one of his posts. Here’s a quick run down:

• Diving For Pearls by Katie Wetherbee. Katie currently serves as the Special Needs Columnist for Children’s Ministry Magazine and she’s also a freelance writer. She is always delighted to talk with parents of children with special needs; this is a journey that Katie shares from personal experience.
• Life With The Loraines by Erin Loraine.   After 4 great years on the Family Life staff, serving from Little Rock, AR, God called them back “home” to Missouri to be near family as we raise the “Fab 4″! 2 of the Fab 4 have special needs.
• The Works of God by John Knight.  John is married to Dianne and together they parent their four children: Paul, Hannah, Daniel and Johnny.  Paul lives with multiple disabilities including blindness, autism, cognitive impairments and a seizure disorder. John blogs on issues of disability, the Bible and the church.

Mike shares more information about each blog at his post I Get By with a Little Help from My Friends, so check it out. Also, you may have noticed that Michelle and Rachel are also guest bloggers here at DifferentDream.com. How cool is that? Regular readers may also think Katie Wetherbee’s name is familiar. That’s because her blog’s been recommended here before. Every one of these bloggers, as well as the guest bloggers at Not-Alone.org, offer both practical tips and spiritual support from a Christian perspective to other parents of kids with special needs.
