Our ...I read things like that with mixed emotions. Our son turns 25 tomorrow. His story is nothing like Jillian's. The biggest trouble I have with stories like hers is from the people who don't know what it is like to raise a child who happens to have Downs. They point the accusing finger at the parents who "don't realize the potential" of their own child -- so they think. I'm tired of "normal" being the bar of success for the kids with Downs. Fighting the system is not the only way to raise a special child. But he is certainly right about the teachers and the meetings. I taught special ed before our son was born. The kids are folders, not people.MyBulletinBoardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07961091298654325887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5878871062832456430.post-74452996520138762452010-08-24T18:36:05.487-04:002010-08-24T18:36:05.487-04:00Woah, that was incredible!
