Posted by Frekhtman & Associates

in Mass Torts, World Trade Center

Giving a Child a Doll with Special Needs Promotes Acceptance & Healing

Posted by Frekhtman & Associates

in Birth Injuries, Medical Malpractice

All children have a deep desire to be accepted for who they are and to simply blend in with their peers. Unfortunately, many children with noticeable physical disabilities are often subject to ridicule and bullying by others.
