Welcome to the BLOOM family!

BLOOM is a how-to magazine about parenting children with disabilities. BLOOM gives voice to the joys and challenges of special-needs parenting by combining firsthand family insights and the best professional advice.

We believe that every child blooms in his or her own unique way.
