Wonderful Advice

"It will all be fine, I promise. Those labels give other people the power to reach out and help those two adorable boys. Those labels also make the school district more accountable for an educational program that will meet their needs. Someday they'll be finishing up post secondary education somewhere, just like John, and you'll look at your boys with incredible love, respect, and awe of how they've grown up WITH their issues, and made it through the maze."

LOVE IT!!!!  Tonight when I was checking out facebook one of my friend's wrote about her concern for her kiddos.  I read this comment that one of her friend's wrote and I thought I'm sharing this on the blog.  What a true and accurate way to define "lables" and their purpose.  So often in society, people get caught up into the harm that "lables" may cause instead of the help that they provide.  There you have it my special ed soapbox of the night!
