How often have we, as parents of special needs kids, found ourselves in the position of trying to convince our children’s teachers, counselors, principals, coaches that just because our kids may have some differences, that does not make them deficient?
The answer: All the time!
Recently Jeremiah Wright gave a speech at the NAACP dealing with this very issue. Bill Wolff on his site “Composing Spaces” provide excerpts from the speech and an excellent analysis of it. Check out his posting ” Different doesn’t mean deficient”.
I found this discussion extremely validating.
