WILL, defined

I recently conducted a little research experiment attempting to define Will. (Sounds funny, I know!) One of my classes this past semester focused on Partnerships with Families of children with disabilities. It was an excellent class. We had lots of great guest speakers who were parents of children with disabilities. I am the parent of a child who is about to be exited from Special Education services at 4 because of his incredible gains (and his super-smart brain!). My point in collecting this information was to prove to the students in my class that parents know that their child faces challenges, the teacher doesn't need to constantly remind them of that. Children with special needs are not defined by the characteristics of their disabilities. No part of my son is defined by the challenges that he may face. He is defined by all of the words below.
