Be Your Child’s Best Advocate

Be your child’s best advocate. Be their best cheerleader. Be the person who is there when the world abandons them.

I have a child who is on the autism spectrum. I have spent hours researching. We have had a lot of trial and error with his education and development. I have also had lots of support and cheerleaders. God has sent some of the most precious, patient people to help my son achieve so much over the years.

I have mentioned the movie “Temple Grandin”. Her mother, Eustacia Cutler, was a champion for all special needs families. I have watching clips of the movie lately to remind me of how far things have come. I am so thankful for pioneers, like Mrs. Cutler, who paved the way for our children to succeed.

Find support when you are fighting for your child. It can make a world of difference.
