Before this program I thought the experts had my son’s interests at heart and always knew what was right. I let them under-estimate him, stereotype him and use generalizations when making recommendations for him. Because of Partners I am a better mother and a better support to my peers and other parents who have children with disabilities. Thanks for the knowledge, the practice, the confidence and an evolved world view. |

Partners taught me so much! It has not only helped me discover ways to make the lives of my children more fulfilling, it helped me in my work with “at risk” children. Partners helped me realize that my purpose in life is to advocate for equality for all.
