I had two non profits in mind over 30 years ago....I volunteered in a new one that could be similar to helping parents, however among funding crunches all the agencies have had to turn parents away, because of the legal ramifications....bull, I said, I will finish school....well, I haven't gotten done....but I am going to.....yes I am. You....are.....so....awesome, trully! I have had multiple disabilities since I was a teen....however, if someone had noticed that I went through the windshield 4 times, of listened to me when I said I couldn't hear them (and I couldn't), then they would have known that most of our disagreements were based upon their refusal to believe that my hearing disability really needed attention. Just wanted you to know that in the past 12 years, my children have been turned upside down and inside out, because of the misconceptions. They are A students, now both graduating from high school, one has been working into his career since he was 15. The other has been volunteering and now working. After struggling to survive the discension, I am finally being accomodated in certain settings, but not in others. Like at Federal Housing, no, but in court, yes. At college, yes, but at my children's school I have gone through policing me, running my children to Soc Services to make sure that I am a good deaf parent (of which I got recommendations from the agency themselves, who had humiliated my children through thick and thin....and you know what? Because of hearing about your success....I am energized again to face system(s) that still want to be elephants in their memory and dwell on the past. So all of you disabled parents, remember one thing.....and you too Carrie......it is all worth the work and artists we are......because turn the tables; and the people who are judging you, well, they would last a minute in any of these agencies, raising their kids....We are whole from the heart! Thanx, Carrie! Carrie…I have met so many lawyers and fellow parents just looking for an agency that could help them. I had two non profits in mind over 30 years ago….I volunteered

I took my youngest in for his 1 year appointment. He was tired around naptime. He refused to stand up for the doctor. Immediately, there was hustle and bustle and he was referred to health and welfare for screening despite ultrasounds and triple screens. (and just for the record, why would SB be so bad?)
