As part of The Mommies Network, LakeNormanMommies is a free community for moms in the Lake Norman Area, North Carolina. We realize that all moms need local support -- and who can't use another friend? LakeNormanMommies offers a simple way to connect with local moms for friendship, support and fun. In addition to general discussion forums, LakeNormanMommies offers a variety of specialized support forums for moms to discuss challenges and celebrate successes with other moms in similar situations. One such source of support is the Children with Special Needs forum.

The Children with Special Needs forum is a private place for moms of special needs children to go to find information on therapies, doctors, specialists, and other resources, as well as support from fellow mommies. Members of this forum are mommies of children with various special needs, including preemie care, food allergies, speech delays, eczema, ADHD, Asperger's syndrome, sensory issues, and autism. This forum exists so that members may share in their frustrations and their triumphs.

This forum is open to members who have children with any type of special need. This need could be physical, emotional, learning, sensory, allergy, or developmental. Membership is also extended to mommies who have a background or experience working with special needs children or adults.
