Exceptional Family is an award-winning quarterly publication exclusively designed for Canadian parents and caregivers of children from birth to 18 years with intellectual and/or physical disabilities.
Our mission is to provide Canadian parents and caregivers of children with special needs with the tools and support they need not only to care for their exceptional children, but to encourage them to soar to new heights.
Time and time again, our readers turn to us for the latest tips and practical information to help them maximize the potential of their exceptional children. From critically-acclaimed features authored by renowned clinicians, insightful columns, must-read book reviews and eye-opening news briefs to fascinating profiles, in-depth series and useful “how-to” articles, Exceptional Family delivers the authoritative and inspirational content sought by special families around their unique experiences and concerns – validation and support our readers simply don’t find in mainstream parenting magazines.
Exceptional Family is published by Montreal’s Miriam Foundation, an organization dedicated to enriching the lives of children, adults and seniors with intellectual challenges.
Exceptional Family can be purchased at Chapters/Indigo and other fine magazine retailers nationwide.
