Advocate for your child (and yourself)

Advocate by understanding your child's needs, knowing what is available for services and how to access them. Strive to work as a team player with professionals. Be honest and communicate openly. Be willing to try new things and take some risks. But most importantly be willing to ask for help. Your life should be made up of many people, places, and events. Let your child who has a disability, be an important part of that life. But not the only part.
