Vision is the fundamental force that drives everything else in our lives. It impassions us with a sense of unique contribution that's ours to make. It empowers us to put first things first, compasses ahead of clocks, people ahead of schedules and things. Keep the focus of your vision on your child's strengths and interests. Think about the things in life that you value and would like your child to have.
Most people value their relationships with others and being an active member of society.
We also tend to value being able to pursue things we are good at and using them for something meaningful and purposeful. Usually people are not drawn to do the things they are least skilled at. Sometimes, when a person has a disability, so much focus is on what they can't do, that they are not given a chance to do the things that they can do or to experience those things that most people value. Remember with the right supports many things are possible. A desire for a child to have friends, and to work and live in the community can be a dream for every child.
