                   Disabilities

What is not often openly recognized is that there is a grieving cycle involved in a disability and it is different than the cycle due to a death, because it reoccurs during the lives of the student and the family. The commonly accepted steps in the grieving cycle are shock, fear, anger, denial, sorrow and acceptance. You will need to recognize and accept this recurring cycle in your life and that of your teen’s if your teen wishes to fulfill his/her potential as an individual.
