"One of my mantras for many years has been, 'Don’t disable a child with disabilities!' As this program points out so clearly, these children, even more so than children who are not obviously medically impacted, need to be confident, competent, respectful, responsible, and, ultimately, independent." -Tracy L. Trotter, MD, Fellow of American Academy of Pediatrics, Pediatric & Adolescent Medicine
