This is timely for me, because I have a good friend who has a child with special needs who is currently in the hospital, she has a job, and, other children at home. Her hospitalized child has to have someone with her at all times, and, because of her needs it really has to be a parent. There certainly are some challenges here.

Every parent has to balance something in their lives, but, when you add children with special needs, I can only imagine that more skills are needed.

Do you have a career and a child with special needs? Tell us how you work to meet the needs of your job and home.

ADDED: The Washington Post’s Career Journal answers a reader question about how to explain a career gap after styaing home to care for a child with autism.
