UNIQUE NEEDS

An interview with psychologist Robert Naseef, PhD about the challenges and the gifts of parenting children with unique needs, in which he shares his insights on “keeping the light on” from his own perspective as the father of a grown son with autism as well as from the point of view of a professional who helps other parents to ‘embrace’ reality and stay connected in the midst of their stress. Dr. Naseef is the author of “Special Children, Challenged Parents” and “Voices from the Spectrum,” and the co-founder/director of Alternative Choices in Philadelphia with his wife Dr. Cindy Ariel, PhD.
