[quote=Anonymous]I feel like accepting them fully means actually not expecting that they'll outgrow their challenges. This means not encouraging goals that aren't realistic for NT kids, much less ones with SNs, even if it's what the SN kid says they want. UVA/W&M/even JMU isn't happening. Let it go. They might get only ever get an AA degree and that will be just fine. (Forget about skilled trades like electrician or commercial driver because those are really hard for most people with LDs.) Start now to develop the skills that they'll need to live a happy life as a person who isn't extraordinary. Realize that most DCUM people consider extraordinary lives to be ordinary.[/quote]
