What are some tips or suggestions for raising a child with special needs?

Some strategies for promoting the development of your exceptional child

Do you have a child with special needs? For instance, does your child have a learning, developmental, physical, behavioural or emotional disability?

If so, you’re faced with a tall task. Raising a special needs child can be a huge challenge. Of course, it can also be highly rewarding.

As a parent, you should aim to learn everything you can about your child and their challenges, to promote their health, development, and happiness. This means doing lots of research. You’ll need to do plenty of reading, connect with the relevant agencies and associations, talk with other parents of children with special needs, and meet with doctors and specialists.

In general, it’s important to seek guidance from those who know about and have experience working with special needs kids. Below, educational experts offer advice on how to raise a child with special needs or who is a neurodiverse learner. To learn about special education and view a list of special needs schools, read our comprehensive guide.

How can parents support the development of a child with special needs?

Jillian Roberts, professor of educational psychology at the University of Victoria and founder of Family Sparks

“A child, with or without special needs or learning disabilities, develops in a variety of ways, within many different environments. Promoting an environment that will see the child and not the disability—or not just the disability—is by far the best thing you can do for that child’s development—both mentally and emotionally.”

Here are 15 strategies for promoting the development of a child with a disability:

Start by recognizing your own biases and learn to see every child's potential.
Look at your child holistically—focus on strengths as well as areas of need.
Get to know your child’s unique personality and emotional triggers.
Build a collaborative support team of educators, therapists, and family.
Foster an inclusive, encouraging environment at home and school.
Remove barriers—physical, academic, or attitudinal—that limit success.
Understand the nature of your child’s disability and evidence-based interventions.
Focus on building your child’s independence and sense of agency.
Incorporate goals that foster self-efficacy in schoolwork and daily life.
Model and promote a growth mindset across all environments.
Expose your child to public spaces and social situations often.
Create inclusive conversations and connections with diverse peers.
Involve the whole family in your child’s development journey.
Stay open to learning from your child—every experience is valuable.
Encourage joy, creativity, and even the occasional mess!

How can parents build resilience and self-esteem in children with special needs?

Ruth Rumack, director of Ruth Rumack’s Learning Space, Toronto, Ontario

“For parents, patience, mindfulness, and empathy are essential. Supporting children with special needs requires encouraging self-esteem and resilience. Avoid mistaking avoidance or frustration for laziness or defiant behaviour. Many children with challenges are among the most dedicated learners.”

It’s vital to notice early signs of difficulty and seek external support when needed. Building strong relationships with educators and documenting your child’s journey in one accessible place can make a big difference. Remember, all learning is a process. Celebrate small victories and know that with time and the right approach, your child can thrive.

Why is creativity important for special needs learners?

Joanne Foster, educational specialist and author of Creativity and Special Needs Learners

“Every child—regardless of ability—has creative potential. Creativity helps children solve problems, gain confidence, and navigate challenges. While academic interventions and enrichment programs are important, nurturing creativity builds character, resilience, and independence.”

Support children in making bold choices, trying new strategies, and expressing themselves through different outlets. Provide encouragement, guidance, and validation of their feelings to help them thrive both emotionally and intellectually.

How should parents strike a balance between support and acceptance?

Dona Matthews, educational specialist and co-author (with Joanne Foster) of Beyond Intelligence: Secrets for Raising Happily Productive Kids

“Love your child for the unique person they are. Stay focused on their strengths, and trust that, with time and proper support, they will manage or overcome many of their challenges. Avoid overemphasizing differences—this can obscure their inherent worth.”

Neuroplasticity offers hope: the brain’s ability to change means that today’s challenges can evolve into tomorrow’s strengths. Parents play a key role in helping children realize this potential.

Why should parents be strong advocates for their special needs child?

Una Malcolm, director of Bright Light Learners, Toronto, Ontario

“Parents must be proactive and persistent in advocating for their child. Effective advocacy includes understanding which evidence-based programs and strategies work best and ensuring these are implemented.”

Staying informed and engaged empowers you to secure the resources and support your child needs to succeed.
