For many decades, people like me have fought for the same opportunities for our children that other sons and daughters have.
By Anne Couldridge
My son graduated from high school in 2021. Like many special education students, he then fell into the abyss of the adult service system for people with ID/A – a system that has been historically underfunded and understaffed. There are no words to describe the heartache and emotional rollercoaster that happens when you first learn your child has an ID/A diagnosis. You experience sleepless nights, invest hours into research and therapies, have guilt over not focusing enough on your neuro-typical children, and feel isolated and alone, even if you have a strong family/friend support system.
