    Quote

      "The first step in working with your special needs child is to recognize that you are, in all likelihood, the single best resource. You should not expect anyone to care for the child the way you do, or to the extent you do." - David and Laurie Lanier, The Homeschool Manual by Theodore E. Wade Jr.
