A Parent's View:
"Just as there are many different colors and shades which
comprise a rainbow, so are there many different children and families which
comprise our world.
Each color, like each child, radiates its own special
intensity and light. However, it is only with the contribution of all the colors
that the magic of the rainbow is born.
To those families who have just begun or those who have
already weathered the storm of challenges a special needs child offers, the
rainbow provides a ray of hope and the chance of discovering the valuable
treasure of its end... Our Children."
