Biannual progress reports are written by teacher as well as parents. Parents often come to us really depressed because all they hear from doctors, as well as their families, is that ‘nothing can be done’. Understandably, they fear for their child’s future. Already stressed out by the day-to-day challenges of their lives, they are further upset by their perception of their child as a ‘hopeless case’ requiring a lifetime of care. Seeing their child learning and becoming more integrated into the family really helps them alter their view. We are careful not to give parents any unrealistic promises when it comes to their child. We only promise the parents that we work as hard as we can with their child and that we will never give up. We teach parents and professionals to adopt more positive attitudes towards disability in general. And also how we can work with them or help them.
