[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am not American and feel that the USA is the most open-minded, by far, when it comes to discussing special needs. I've had heart to hearts with my two close friends, and I've helped out many other parents in SN discussion groups. I don't feel isolated at all, and I don't think American society is isolating such families. In other parts of the world, special needs are a real taboo, and families with a disabled child can be stigmatized in very impactful ways: the marriage prospects of their other children are in jeopardy, for example. [/quote] Agree. Not that this is paradise either. In many European countries, state schooling is only required to be provided for neurotypical students. The USA rules about government providing an appropriate education for every child are uncommon globally. [/quote]
