The dance of partnership: Why do my feet hurt?
Janice Fialka, 2001
Young Exceptional Children, 4(2), 21-27
In this article, the author writes from her own experience as a mother of a child with special needs and discusses the complications of parent-professional partnerships. She identifies five distinct features, or dimensions, that both entangle and enhance the partnership dance: choice, forced intimacy, identification of partners, role expectations, and differing priorities.
