Put yourself into the shoes of a parent of a child with special needs.
To help you understand read the online essay, “Welcome to Holland”, and watch the YouTube video about
parenting a child with a disability.
Textbook Chapter 10 (starting at page 265) Asthma (page 272-273)
**People First Language** (paragraph 3)
One way to do this is to stress what the child can do, rather than what the child cannot do. People First language puts the child first, before the disability. There are children with special needs, not special needs children. Their disability or illness is only a small part of who they are.
