Any parent can tell you that raising a child is a difficult and trying lifetime job, although overwhelmingly rewarding. Anyone can only imagine how much more difficult this job can become when the child is disabled. Children with disabilities are not as rare an occurrence as one might suspect. Millions of parents throughout the United States are raising children with disabilities.

Here are some tips from parents raising children with disabilities…for those other parents who may be new at it:

• Learn as much as you can about your child's disability.
