I have found that in many cases, it is a mixed bag of emotions for parents of children with disabilities I have known. It is heart wrenching to see your child go through all they have to deal with, or their death, but just as troubling is knowing you have to leave your 'child for someone else to care for! I remember signing my son up for a group home and crying about it even though the decision would be years and years down the road. <br>JackieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19312567.post-26164804499595613382007-04-20T23:20:00.000-04:002007-04-20T23:20:00.000-04:00Your reflections on this subject always humble me....Your reflections on this subject always humble me. Thank you for keeping me connected to the people whose lives continue without me at the end of a school day. I see the exhaustion in their eyes, and hear it in their voices... but then, a positive, hopeful word slips from their lips, and I know I should never give up on their kids either, no matter how tired I get. It shames me not to come up with the word of hope first. They support me as much as, or more than, I support them. My assistant principal is the parent of an autistic child. I remember when, before he became an asst principal, he was a classroom teacher, and I remember his concern for his son by the time the boy was two years old. He was diagnosed by age 3. He's in second grade now, and if I didn't tell you, you wouldn't know he was autistic. He has come so far. It is crucial to identify such children early. Early intervention is the key.

Journals really open up your world and brings people together. It is a good thing for support and to give support. I meet so many caregivers in my job.

It is humbling, my job is so much easier that if a child was involved. But a child offers hope, and that is inspiring.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
