The events in this book are true. The names of children were changed to protect their identity. (For the record, I'm using a pen name.). Why? There is still a great deal of ignorance when it comes to understanding individuals having a disability. Sometimes, a disability is obvious. Other times, it's not. As for my three children, each had a different disability. They never received social security, since their disability is not severe. However, it is detrimental in preventing them from acquiring a quality education which would lead to a career.
My oldest, Lauren, was diagnosed with central auditory processing disorder and later with a bipolar disorder. My middle child, Andrew, was diagnosed with pervasive developmental disorder and mild cerebral palsy. My youngest, Katie, was diagnosed with juvenile glaucoma and photophobia.
As their mother, I wanted what was best for them. As such, I had to become their advocate when seeking a 504 Plan and later an IEP for special education.
The only guidance I received came from the power of prayer. Yes, indeed, I got down on my hands and knees and prayed from my heart. My prayers were answered.
