GIVEAWAY: Book by Joan Celebi, Special Needs Parent Coach

GIVEAWAY: FREE BOOK - BALANCED LIVING ALL YEAR


Joan Celebi
is the Founder and President of SpecialNeedsParentCoach.com. Through her internationally acclaimed teleseminars and coaching programs, as well as her New England area trainings and workshops, she helps parents of children with special needs create manageable, balanced, joyful lives - for themselves, their children, and their families. Joan publishes the free monthly Overwhelmed No More! Newsletter, writes the daily blog The Special Needs Parent, and is also the author of Overwhelmed No More: The Complete System for Balanced Living for Parents of Children with Special Needs (this will be offered as a giveaway in the future, so stay tuned!). Joan is a certified life coach and holds a Master's Degree in Education from Harvard University.

It is understandable why Joan is so great at what she does! I had a conversation with her by phone recently and came away knowing that she is dedicated to her family, her work and doing whatever she can to
benefit the special needs community.

Balanced Living All Year is your month-by-month guide to successfully navigating life with a child with special needs.

Inside, you'll find quick, easy chapters that are both enjoyable and filled with how-to's for the challenges that often arise in a year in the life of a parent of a child with special needs.

Balance in my Life???

Yep, I surely do need that. I have a 5 year old son with Sensory Processing Disorder. I work with children with disabilities. I have a 4 year old son who demands a lot of attention. I am a friend, a coworker, a mom, a partner, a family member, etc. I try to make it all work and often end up getting cranky in the end. I need the balance to make it all run more smoothly:)

I really need balance in my life. Between working with students with disabilities and their families on a daily basis and dealing with my own disability, I sometimes get overwhelmed. My passion for my work often overrides my personal needs. So balance would be a miracle.
