About the Project
My child will be happy is an educational initiative created to support parents of children with special needs and exceptionalities and young people with diverse developmental needs.
For many families, critical questions begin when a child is around four years old, when developmental differences or educational challenges first become more visible.
These questions often continue through childhood and early adolescence—around age fifteen, when many students begin preparing for the transition to post-secondary independence.
This initiative provides practical knowledge, educational strategies, and informed guidance to help families better understand their children’s development and navigate their educational path with clarity and confidence.
