This video is a collection of various feeling, and struggles that a parent of a child with a disability faces daily.

Parents of Disabled Children "Their Today":
I wanted to get a parent's perspective of what it is like to raise a child with a disability. Divorce is common in families that have a child with a disability due to the stress and responsibility of raising a child with special needs. I want to know what a day in the life of parent of a child that has a disability is like? Reasons why parents may choose to separate?

You are finding some good info. YouTube has opened up a world of information about many topics.
ReplyDeleteYoutube is a very good source to find various perspectives on a topic. As a future educator, it is our job to receive information from the parents of the children in our classroom, to understand where they are coming from. I feel as if this is especially important when it comes to children with special needs. It's important to be aware of what's happening with the child outside of the classroom. This video provided a great deal of parents perspectives of their child whether it related to the children's physical, social, or emotional needs.
