we are so happy to have you and hope you will find comfort and support from us through your journey. There are so many things we can and need to tell you but the most important thing is to be patient with the process, ask a lot of questions, document who, when you talked to them and what they said and do not give up. All to often the road we are traveling can be overwhelming, discouraging and lonely. If you do not learn what is necessary to help your child live a greatest quality of life you dream for him or her, who will? I learned many years ago how important "I was" in my children's lives. I learned the true importance of my need to be educated, knowledgeable and prepared to take charge at every turn. If you ever learn anything in live with a child with special needs - you truly are your child's best advocate and you are the beholder of all information. Therefore, you are the doctor, teacher, mentor, administrator and every other hat necessary to ensure your child receives the services and supports he or she needs to benefit from their education. Get involved in a local support group in your area or the closest one possible. Talk to other families online on list serv's (click the link below), learn about the mourning process we often go through as parents over and over again depending on the situation. You may have thought you have already gone through one stage and something else has transpired and you are back in the same place. This is all common. More importantly, YOU ARE NOT ALONE! As you will discover there is a lot of information on the Internet available on disabilities. We have highlighted key National Autism Resources, including key National Disability Resource Organizations to get you started. You will also find key National Resources we have listed under Learning Disabilities. We encourage you to visit all three of these resource areas as a starting point to help assist in your crusade to learn about your child's disability. We at DisabilityGoTo are here to support you as much as possible. If there is something you are looking for and have not found it, email us and inquiry. We also provide "In Home Analysis" services and "Individualized Training", if you find your needs are moving in that direction. |
