To be honest with you, I am sooooo tired of "experts" who have never walked in our shoes or in my daughter's shoes telling me what she is capable of, what she is feeling, what we should do. I would be THRILLED if I walked in and saw a doctor with a disability and I would certainly be comfortable letting them treat my daughter, for two reasons. First, they would KNOW what they were talking about. Even if the disability was in a different area, they have still "walked the walk" so to speak. Second, hope. It gives all of us parents hope that our kids can do whatever they set their minds to. So, from a totally selfish standpoint, I say GO FOR IT!!!
