Welcome to Special-Ism, a pioneer among the “invisible” special needs industry!
Special-Ism is the result of a marriage between two powerful blogs addressing invisible special needs: S-O-S Research, operated by Danette Schott, MA and OUR Journey THRU Autism, operated by Tiffani Lawton, RN. The invisible special needs include ADHD, anxiety, high-functioning autism, Asperger’s, mental illness, and Sensory Processing Disorder.
Tiffani and Danette partnered to create a unique platform providing the professional and author with exposure opportunities, while providing solutions to the challenges faced by parents and caregivers of children with “invisible” special needs.
Collectively, Tiffani and Danette have been publishing articles for 8 years addressing the varied challenges within the “invisible” special needs community. This powerful union unleashes Special-Ism where you–the parent, professional, author, teacher, and caregiver–will find many resources.
What is Special-Ism?
The definition of “Specialism” is the concentration of efforts on a particular field of study. Our particular field is addressing the ‘isms’ of the invisible special needs community.
What is an “Ism”?
An Ism is the challenge faced by those with invisible special needs and this is the focus of Special-Ism.com We do not necessarily look at the diagnostic label, but rather the challenges (or Isms) and offer solutions no matter what the diagnosis.
Browse our site and discover practical solutions offered by our members to help your child reach their potential.

We look forward to connecting with you and working together!
