* 12:00 – If accommodations are helping to support a child, do not take those accommodations and such access away.

* 21:00 – Medical professionals are experts in diagnoses, therapy, and best guidance; clients are the experts on the actual lived experiences of these diagnoses.

* 32:00 – Before speaking about milestones and goals, professionals can repeat parents’ requests so that the parents know that they are initially being heard.
