These, too, are social gatherings with great therapeutic benefit. Upbeat and friendly, these luncheons, dinners or workshops allow mothers of children with special needs to catch an entertaining breather while exchanging ideas, sharing feelings and discovering available resources in the company of other moms in the same predicament as their own. The benefits of such interaction, support and mutual understanding have proven to be immeasurable.
