Parents with children with disabilities are often living in very stressful situations with little financial or emotional support. Isolation experienced by parents and their children is often overwhelming, and respite is difficult to obtain and expensive. Children with a formail diagnosis some-times receive a little more help than those who can not be diagnosed, but even then the support is so minimal its barely worth mentioning. Government help, whats that? I do hope if the National Disability Scheme is intoduced on a full scale that there will be a decent amount of money allocated by the Government in order to support it, and that it will not be another pie in the sky promise to win votes, as so many parents of disabled children not only do it tough, many live in abject poverty in order to meet the complex needs of their children!
