to me it sounds like you are doing evrything. i know it can be tough even when you have someone to help. at my kids iep meetings we discuss things that i can do at home to help too. but love and support are the best things you can do. and dont hold her back form doing things just because of her disablilty. let her at least try. she will never know her full potential unless she tries.

How old is your daughter? Does she have a diagnosis? Special Needs School? Parent Counseling? Social Worker?
