Behavior Analyst, Chris Messina of Precision Parenting,
provides insight for co-parents with a special needs child, and
how they can reduce conflict by committing to alignment and open
communication. In this interview, Chris and Steve discuss the
following:

•    What do we mean by “a child with special
needs”?
•    Why children with special needs are at a higher
risk for poor outcomes when their families go through a
divorce.
•    Sets of roadblocks that require specialized
modifications to a co-parenting plan.
•    Working with a professional to determine the exact
nature of your child’s roadblocks.
•    Committing to an alignment for your child with
special needs vs. blame and shame.
•    Visible and invisible roadblocks to reaching a
“Functional Level of Agreement”.
•    The importance of identifying the child’s legging
skills, and evaluation vs. treatment
•    Co-parenting a child with special needs can
sometimes feel insurmountable...when is it time to seek outside
help?
