An upbeat account of a mother’s journey parenting twins with different disabilities.  It is a tale of advocacy outlining the strategies used when working with doctors, teachers and neighbors.

The importance of communities and the role they play in supporting an individual is explained. The balance between safety and individual autonomy is explored.  The lessons shared are instructive to parents of children with and without disabilities.
