  • If you are a parent/guardian of a child dealing with any kind of difference, it absolutely is ok to need and seek help – and totally encouraged! Where did you seek (and find) support? What was most helpful? If you had difficulty finding support, what do you wish you had been able to find?
  • If you are the person with a difference (limb or otherwise): did you hear this as a child? What might it have been like for you if you had?
