Children with special needs are wonderful! My younger sister spoke later in elementary school. The day after mom was upset with God, wondering if she will be safe on her own having trouble communicating (they started with sign language and one sign was learned in a long period of time, we had looked at touch screen computers that were very very expensive so my parents were unsure what to do) we were at the dinner table. My sister looked at mom and said the first sentence, “Best mom whole world.” It took a little bit longer for non family members to fully understand 100% of her words, but it was a start (with a bang!) Every individual is different, but even small milestones must be celebrated. To parents of children with special needs: Your child matters. You matter. We see you. There will be kind kids and adults. Your child will influence more lives than you realize. You are allowed to be frustrated. There will be people that treasure your child. There are wonderful teachers out there.
