Welcome to Heartbeat's Childhood Disorders!
Coping with the pressures of raising a family these days can be difficult enough. And then, one day, a special child comes into your life - perhaps he is terribly ill, or she needs constant care. Even with family and friends to help, parents can feel lost and alone. Thankfully, the Internet is proving an excellent resource -
parents can reach out to each other any time of the night or day, and find solutions to problems, friends to lean on, and, most importantly, hope. Together, families with special needs children can learn to find the joy in the simplest things. It is our hope to provide our visitors with the most up-to-date resources and information pertaining to Childhood
Disorders.
