I, too, was the parent of a child with a disability. I say "was" because my daughter is now 21 (how did that happen?). Having that personal connection with issues of disability, and watching your own child struggle certainly provides a level of understanding for you, in your work, that many of your colleagues won't have. The good news is that, in my experience, many students "grow into" their disability over time and become more comfortable in their abilities. With that confidence comes a certain freedom to make the most of one's abilities and the supports that are available. I hope you find that to be true in your son's case, too.
