[quote=Anonymous]I get what you're saying, OP, but expanding opportunities for your kid is different than getting all obstacles out of their way. You can strategically support and help identify cool things for your child--or colleges that would be a particularly good fit for them--without going to great lengths to give them every advantage. That stunts them so badly. I'm with 8:48 on what I want for my kids, and me handing it all to them won't get them to be the kind of adults that thrive in a complex world. And, of course people with SN deserve accommodations. It wouldn't occur to me to consider that snowplowing; it's being the best parent to the child you have. Part of that becomes helping them to learn to advocate for themselves. Eventually, they're going to be the ones telling their college professors and employers about the help they need, and working to get them to that place matters, too.[/quote]
