You are Blessed by Terri Mauro
It may feel more like a curse sometimes, but having a child with special needs brings with it abundant opportunities for grace. It slows you down and allows you to enjoy the little things -- a calm quiet day, a hard-won skill, a spontaneous hug, a pleasant conversation. Where other parents are driven to find their child's success in high grades and high scores on the playing field, you are granted the privilege of focusing on the things that really matter, teaching your child how to love and care and communicate on the most basic level. You know what's important, and because you're not caught up in trivialities you are able to appreciate that so much more deeply. Miracles happen every day, if you only know where to look for them.

This is an amazing blog. We moved here a year ago and used 'Help me Grow' in Ohio. We now use 'First Steps'. My sons impairment is not as severe as some but it's still holds him back. I'm actually really frustrated with First Steps right now and don't know what to do. And I totally understand what you are saying in this post. I think some people just take their children for granted and don't even know it. Take care xoxox I am going to add you to my bloglist.
