Special Needs Children

Has anyone felt the need to educate the parents of the children enrolled in your daycare on the topic of special needs children?  I have had the experience of parents complaining that I accept special needs children.  I have become so used to this dilema that I now bring up the topic at every enrollment meeting with my new clients.  Parents often complain that children with special needs will take time away from their children.  Another comment I often hear is that parents of typical children do not want their children exposed to special needs children, it is just wrong!  I disagree, and feel that often the parents are passing prejudice down to their children.  Child Care locations are a good place to alter these misconceptions.
