"I have read your blogs and comments and I understand. I understand because I’ve been there – starting 55 years ago. How different our lives were from yours! We didn’t have to deal with the speech pathologists, the physical therapists and the early childhood specialists…because we didn’t have those services." <br /><br />What a witty woman!<br /><br />A former student of Jane's, <br />Pollye Pruitt <br />(PS @ Jane, that's 55 years and 10 months ago!)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-401303964563152307.post-56575621093055022552011-11-22T08:26:58.988-05:002011-11-22T08:26:58.988-05:00What a wonderful story.

My daughter is special needs and I don't think I'll ever forget her first ARD - 8 professionals and me with a box of tissues. I went back to school and became a Sp. Ed teacher in order to help her through the mind boggling school process and we eventually homeschooled her.Susan Casehttp://kindergartenbasics.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-401303964563152307.post-38427863362592869782011-11-22T00:55:09.241-05:002011-11-22T00:55:09.241-05:00Wonderful post and a reminder why I am grateful at...Wonderful post and a reminder why I am grateful at times we DON'T get services as I think, at times, they can get in the way of a good life, an ordinary life and, above all, an inclusive life. <br /><br />I think I will start to revere those waiting lists a little more. Thank you Jane for setting high standards, for pioneering an inclusive life for your son and allowing it to happen 47 years later for mine.<br />GinaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-401303964563152307.post-90937451427182420692011-11-21T22:25:27.210-05:002011-11-21T22:25:27.210-05:00Just beautiful!!!

I know a similar woman, whose daughter is my age (born in 1952) and had cerebral palsy, and she fought many of these same battles: signing her little girl up for dance classes, Sunday school, Girl Scouts (she was also the leader), insisting that she really could graduate from high school without taking PE, sending her off to college 400 miles away, etc. When I think of all that these parents accomplished, with no support services, I am truly humble and grateful.
