I had to repost this because if you are a special needs parent, there could not have been a time where you didn't feel embarrased, humiliated, or disrespected by someone who was simply ignorant to the fact that some children have special needs and has imperfections just as every other person in this world does!!!

If you are a special needs parent or family member and "Expect Respect" for your special needs loved one, stop by and Add Your Name to the 'We Expect Respect' Manifesto today and read some of the heart tugging stories that some parents have had to go through because of ignorance!!!!!
