Finding Grace in Your Family
Parenting a child with physical, developmental or mental-health disABILITIES can be one of the most rewarding experiences of your life. But it also can strain your household and marriage and test your faith.

Her mission is to include all children, whether their needs are “special” or not, in the educational and spiritual life of the Church. A popular speaker at both the national and diocesan level, Madonna’s experience as the mother of children with ADHD and Asperger’s Syndrome has given her insight into the challenges that families who have a member with disABILITIES face.
