Dear Readers / Institutions,
When hiring teachers, coaches, or therapists, institutions must prioritize more than skills—they must choose people with compassion, patience, and respect.
If someone cannot show basic respect to a responsible parent, can they truly be kind to a child, especially one with special needs?
Today I was spoken to rudely by a young man who coaches my son’s skating class. It left me wondering: who are we really entrusting our children to? Are they seen as individuals with dignity, or simply as tasks and clients?
Our children deserve environments where empathy and respect come first.
Yours truly,
Neurodiverse Mom😓
