My friend, Jolene Philo, is working on a new book project with Gary Chapman, the Five Love Languages guy. They hope to co-author a book to help to equip parents raising kids with special needs to use the five love languages with other family members: spouse, typically-developing kids, kids with special needs, and extended family. As part of her research, Jolene created a short survey for families of kids with special needs. If you’re interested, you can fill out the survey at this link: http://differentdream.com/2017/05/five-love-languages-families-kids-special-needs/. It literally takes less than 2 minutes to complete! Gary and Jolene have specifically asked that our SOAR ministry families participate in this as they have heard so many great things about you! (Yes, I do brag about you all, you know I love you all!) I am so excited to see this book become a reality!
