[quote=Anonymous]22:04 put it so well.

For me, meeting other families and children with my daughter's disability helped me move my life forward.

My daughter is not school age but I live near St. Coletta's and see the comings and goings of the students and staff everyday. It really seems like a positive place. I often chat with staff while they are chaperoning the students to and from the Metro. It has made me feel better about being thrust into the disabilty world. I see many students who have severe disabilities and I bet if you contact the school they could connect you with parents and professionals familiar with your daughters disability. I did that myself with Easter Seals after my daughter's birth and met a few families that way. Not feeling alone has been key for me.

You likely already have HSCSN and access to the respite care and personal care aides. You should know that you can also use your respite hours at Jills House in VA too. If you do not have HSCSN I collaborated with other parents and made a step by step guide to simplify the process. Let me know if you need it and I will post a link.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and are for whatever will help your family move forward. [/quote]
