Letter: Support special needs parents

By Jennifer Heinlein, Vancouver
Published: April 2, 2024, 6:00am

This is not just my story; it’s a call to action for collective change. The challenges faced by special needs parents in Washington are not isolated incidents; they are systemic issues that demand systemic solutions. It’s time for a comprehensive review and revamping of the caregiver training program, making it more inclusive, relevant and accommodating to the unique needs of children with disabilities.

Together, we can influence positive change and create a more supportive and effective special needs caregiver program in Washington. Let’s turn our sadness into motivation, our hope into determination and work collaboratively toward a brighter and more accessible future for families like ours.

Your thoughts, questions and concerns are not just welcome — they are essential in shaping this conversation. Let’s ensure that the voices of parents and caregivers are not only heard but become the driving force.
