Following AJ Riveiro’s autism diagnosis in 2013, Pastor Adam Riveiro and his wife Dianne began to navigate the realities of being a “special needs family.” As they searched for resources to help them minister to their son from a biblical worldview, they often found themselves coming up short. Through patience, the guidance of the Holy Spirit, and the support of others, they gradually found the peace of God amid the uncertainty.

Ministering to YOUR Children with Special Needs serves as a valuable sequel to the Riveiros’ first book, Ministering to Children with Special Needs. In this practical guidebook, Adam and Dianne focus directly on the mothers and fathers of special needs children. By connecting biblical truth with the real-life experiences of special needs families, they offer readers essential principles and philosophies for navigating their child’s diagnosis.

Pastor Adam and Dianne Riveiro live south of Boston in beautiful Easton, Massachusetts. Together, they serve at Liberty Baptist Church, where Adam has been pastor since its founding in 2013. They are the proud parents of four children: Bethany, Kaylee, AJ, and Peyton.
