Talking To Your Child About Their Disability

Hi
A parent group in North London want to do an article for their newsletter about when and how parents talk to their child about their disability and whether anyone knows of or has used resources that have been helpful?
Many thanks

If you have not already seen it you may want to check out the scope factsheet entitled 'A selection of books for young children on cerebral palsy and related issues' which is located in the information section of the scope website.
Titles of books along with references and a brief summary of content are included.

Do you know if this article ever got written as I'd be very interested in reading it?

There is a little discussion in this post:

That might help.

Thanks for responding and for the link which was really useful. Honesty does seem to keep coming up as the best policy, along with some very positive talking.
Best Wishes.
