This article is a follow-up to the article “Being the Parent of a Child with Developmental Disabilities”. The articles discuss some of the things a parent of a child born with Down syndrome can reasonably expect but are not normally told about. Although the articles discuss children with Down syndrome, many of the points outlined in these articles, also apply to parents of most children born with special needs.

As a parent of a child born with Down syndrome, you can expect:

1. To lose a few friends, since a lot of people who do not have a child with special needs do not understand, or fit into your life anymore (their loss, true friends will be there for you).
2. Your life and your spouse’s life to change drastically (there can be some tension but it can also and most likely will bring you closer together).
3. To get ticked off once in a while with your child’s service providers (can be with a doctor or therapist).
4. To change one or more of your child’s service providers (if a provider does not click well with you, change them since you need to feel comfortable with the person who has a major stake in your child’s overall well being).
5. Your child’s healthcare providers to get information wrong or misdiagnose something (this is where your instincts and gut feelings come into play).
6. To hear someone say, “I have good news and I have bad news” (for example, “the bad news is your child has cataracts and the good news is that they are in both eyes” — believe it or not, better to have them in both eyes than one eye).
7. Everyone to volunteer to babysit but not be qualified to babysit a child with special needs (yes, special needs require ‘special handling’ — find nice ways to say thank you but no thank you).
8. To join a local support group in your area (expect to make some great friends — you will meet some great people and realize that you are not alone).
9. Someone to mention the word “autism” if you child’s development delay is significant (do not be alarmed, this will actually provide you with access to more services).
10. To see your child’s therapists more often than you see the majority of your family members (you might have 3-4 therapy sessions scheduled with different providers per week; some will be twice a week).

There are many branches of psychology that suggest ways to change human behavior. The ADD/ADHD community generally follows the idea of rewarding desirable behavior and either ignoring and/or presenting consequences for undesirable behavior. Again, you know your child best. Some kids take well to praise while others seem react well by avoiding consequences at all costs. I will present you with a list of some ways to reward, ignore, and create consequences. Try them to see which work best for your child.

Rewards:

· Reward your child with verbal praise, hugs and kisses, or some quality time with someone or doing something instead of material objects.

· Change rewards as often as you can. ADD/ADHD kids will react well to the stimulation of a variety of rewards.

· Since many ADD kids are impulsive, make sure that rewards are immediate rather than delayed.

· Reward your child with something that is meaningful to him (i.e. extra time playing with Dad at night, extra video game time).

Consequences/Ignoring:

· Your child should know the potential consequences in advance so that he or she isn’t surprised when the consequence is delivered. This could prevent a potential meltdown.

· Know your child’s ‘triggers’. Don’t hand out a consequence that will devastate your child.

· Have your ADD/ADHD child verbalize what he or she did wrong and what he or she plans on doing in the future to avoid being in this position again.

The best way to incorporate these ideas is to create ADD/ADHD behavior contracts.

If you haven’t had the opportunity to take advantage of the First Time Homebuyer’s credit and you are serviceman or woman, you a new tax credit currently being considered in Congress may bring some good news your way. According to reports, Congress is considering making a major change to the tax credit with the help of several smaller bills that are being collectively referred to as the “Service Members Home Ownership Act of 2009.” As the name implies, these changes will only affect military personnel in terms of being eligible to take advantage of the credit. Nonetheless, these proposed changes are being interpreted by many to be a sign that more changes may be on the horizon.
Through this new legislation, servicemen and women will be made exempt from the stipulation of the First Time Homebuyer’s credit, which requires buyers to occupy their homes for three years following the purchase in order to fully qualify for the credit. Obviously, this guideline serves as a problem for military personnel who may be called upon to transfer overseas after purchasing their homes. While overseas, many military personnel choose to rent out their homes or to simply let them sit vacant, both of which would cause them to be deemed ineligible to keep the credit they received when purchasing the home.
With the help of the bill proposals, military personnel who sell their homes within the first 36 months because they are transferred to a new duty station or sent overseas will not be responsible for repaying the tax credit. Rather, the time they spend away from their homes while serving their country will count toward fulfilling the requirement.
For military personnel who missed out on the tax credit because they knew they wouldn’t qualify due to an upcoming transfer or overseas posting, the proposed bill will also provide them with an extension. Rather than expiring on November 30, 2009, the deadline will be extended to November 30, 2010 for those who served outside of the United States for at least three months in 2009.
These proposed changes represent the first major changes to be made to the First Time Homebuyer’s tax credit since it was first set into action. For some, the proposal to make these changes is a promising indication of additional changes and extensions being made to the general public. Whether or not extensions will be proposed to anyone other than military personnel, however, still remains to be seen.
