It is not easy to predict how parents will react to birth of a disabled child. Each family member's reaction may be coupled with intense feelings and draining emotions, often leaving them confused, bewildered, and full of questions. Thus, a key for teachers to work effectively with such families is respect. Teachers should allow parents their right to express this intense and constantly varying range of emotions.
