Sheesh!<br /><br />I know there are parents on the Parent Voices at Holland Bloorview Facebook group and the Three To Be Facebook group who have had great experiences with dance studios accommodating their kids.

The dance studio is getting established, but has a similar type of tag line about making dance "available and accessible" to the community and being open to a wide range of dancers. So I thought, great, I would love to sign my son up for a ballet class at the fall. He has friends at this studio who absolutely love it. I could even supply a PSW of my own, using my respite time for his class. <br /><br />When I called though, the person on the phone was hesitant, and told me she would have to call me back. When she did it was a few days later, and she said that they had had a "long discussion" and decided that we would be "allowed" to "try" a few sample classes at the beginning of term "if we still wanted to go that road", but we wouldn't be "permitted" to sign up for classes or register on-line.<br /><br />I like to call it "rolling out the you're-not-welcome mat". We got the message. We're not signing up for ballet classes this year.

Mean different things to different people so when people hear the word disabilities They just think these people can't learn that's not True. I wish people could be more open minded because people with disabilities are just like everyone eles. .
