[quote=Anonymous]My DC is in a special placement and has an invisible disability. Same thing - the Gen Ed kids don’t really include her. But, she signed up to participate in Best Buddies because she actually wanted to make friends with kids in LFI. It makes her feel less alone and she’s interested in learning about their disabilities. She came home telling me about some assistive technology she learned about and asked if it is something that might help her too. So that’s another perspective. It didn’t even occur to my kid to be doing it for recognition or “pity.” She literally wanted to connect with other kids with disabilities. She doesn’t realize her disability is invisible and that others expect more from her than she is capable of because she’s speaking. [/quote]
