A Bill of Rights For Parents of Kids With Special Needs


We, the parents, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure tranquility (and sanity) and promote the general welfare of our families, do ordain and establish this Bill of Rights.

A Bill of Rights for Parent of Kids with Special Needs written by a Ellen Seidman, in honor of her son Max, and all children with special needs.

* We have the right to expect our kids to be seen for who they are as individuals, not as labels or diagnoses.


*
We have a right to trust our instincts about our kids and realize that experts don't always know best.




*
We have a right to ignore the remarks, questions, and stares and not give explanations or excuses for why our children are the way they are....
