Families raising a child with a disability can carry pressures people on the outside may never see.
Karen reflects on the strain she sees families navigating and the instinct, as an advocate, to want to fix everything for them.
But family life, marriage, caregiving, and disability are complicated. There isn’t one statistic or one story that can capture every family’s experience.
Advocacy can support the child, but compassion means remembering there are real people and relationships carrying the weight beyond the IEP table.
