Julia Roberts is founder of Support for Special Needs and has been a regular contributor since its inception in May 2010. A mom to two kids with special needs, she didn't want other parents to feel what is the often isolating world of raising a child (or two!) with disabilities. Her kids had kidney transplants at the age of eight and will need liver transplants in the future as a result of ARPKD/CHF. They both have vision disorders and learning disabilities.
Seriously, I have long questioned the importance placed on riding a school bus – why parents don’t opt to transport their children themselves. Seems too hard to put a 3 y/o on one and the environment of a school bus is not even pleasant for children without diagnoses.
Good for OT Sue for helping more to understand.
