How many of you have kids with a disability and are frustrated with the services your child recieves?

Is your child reaching their full potential? Are the doctors and the schools listening to you? Do you have all the tools necessary for them?

We can have all of our tool we need, know all of the rules and still they will not listen to us and you just want to scream.; ▶ Reply to This

I also fought, being an airforce wife, to keep him out of special ed in every school district we attended. He is now in college. I started All Kids Matter because I fought the system and my son thrived. I provide a free ear, advocacy and referal to anyone. I plan to make this a nationwide organization. I am a 501c3 and 90% of the money will be spent on our kids. I am going after corporate america and the government to give support to our kids.
Let me know if you need anything or even just a place to vent I would love to listen. Please tell me more about your child. Hugs, Kim
PS Our kids do have rights and they have to listen! It is against the law.
