Limits and Possibilities

Post by Christine Cangiano, MS, is a counselor for families raising children with special needs and is actively involved in the special needs community in Northwest Indiana.

As with any child, it is important for me to set limits on my son's behavior while encouraging him to do his best.

Just because he has Down syndrome doesn't mean he shouldn't be taught appropriate social skills and be able to wonder about the possibilities of his future. It is never okay for me to say, "My son can't do that because he has Down syndrome." Children with special needs are capable of so much and more.
