Having a child with special needs can make it difficult to get into private school, but that depends on the private school. Some schools will allow your child to have a shadow. Some schools won't. It also depends on the type of special need your child has. Does your child need someone in the classroom with them in the class at all times? Or is it really just an afterschool thing that can be taken care of? So the type of special needs your child has and the type of allowances your child needs and what the school is willing to do is something that varies from school to school. So be sure to check with the schools carefully before you apply.

100 Acts of Love: A Girlfriend's Guide to Loving A Friend Through Cancer or Loss

Kim Hamer is the author of 100 Acts of Love: A Girlfriend's Guide to Loving Your Friend through Cancer or Loss, a modern, essential how-to guide offering tips on what to say (and NOT to say), and specific ways to support and love a friend, co-worker or family member who is coping with cancer, loss or any crisis.

Kim Hamer became a widow after her 44-year old husband lost his life to cancer. Their children were 12, 9 and 7 at the time. Before and after her husband’s death, friends and supporters came up with unique, creative and simple ways to help her family. She called them “acts of love” because it’s what they felt like.

Her book is a fun, straightforward compilation of many of those acts. The mission of “100 Acts of Love” is to help everyone understand and embrace their importance in the lives of their friend in crisis and to provide the tools and courage needed to support them in a truly meaningful and helpful way.
