The Floro family’s experience with Charles challenged preconceived notions and opened their eyes to the limitations of their expectations. Zeleny-Floro emphasizes the crucial lesson learned: not defining someone solely by their disability and encouraging parents to discuss diversity with their children. She urges embracing the uniqueness in everyone and dispelling stereotypes based on appearances or behavior.
Having redefined their understanding of “disabled,” the Floro family hopes their story inspires other parents to foster a sense of acceptance and understanding in their children. Zeleny-Floro’s message is clear: “Talk about how we are all made special, and that just because somebody doesn’t look or act like you, doesn’t mean they should be treated any differently.”
