We Expect Respect

A Manifesto for Parents of Children With Special Needs

By Terri Mauro, About.com Guide


Excerpt:

Quote:

QuoteAs parents of children with special needs, we deal with a wide variety of disabilities that raise a wide variety of concerns and require a wide variety of accommodations. We do not speak with one voice on many of the things our children specifically need to be safe and secure and included in the life of their community and the wider world.

But there's one thing we can all agree on: our children deserve respect.
