[quote=Anonymous]  Try to sit and think about what your clients families have been through and then think about your role in being part of the solution not part of the problem. Here's a sampler of what a SN parent might face

the hospital stays and surgeries

the pain of seeing your child, your BABY suffering

the many doctor visits, so many of which were useless

the endless time in waiting rooms

the fear when milestones are missed

the money, money and more money spent to hit those milestones

the amount of time that goes into helping our kids develop

the pain of assessment after assessment implying your baby is broken. (Some make it sound this way, please be sensitive to how you present delays). Ask what we have done so far instead of assuming we have not already gotten interventions.

the flippant attitude of the pediatrician

the teacher who doesn't want to deal (this was rare for us and I have so many teachers who have earned my endless gratitude)

IEP meetings

The difficulty paying for basic things because of all the money spent on intervention

Tha pain of dealing with unprofessional professionals.

Family members who don't get it, don't believe it, think that it's your fault.

The stares in public. The rejection from other families.

The isolation. (We are past that, but it was something we dealt with when the issues first became apparent)[/quote]
