Difficult As Necessary T-Shirt

from $34.99

For the parent who never planned on becoming an expert in IEPs, accommodations, evaluations and educational rights — but learned because their child needed them to.

DIFFICULT AS NECESSARY is for parents who would much rather collaborate than fight, but who also know when it’s time to push back. You ask questions. You request explanations. You follow up. You put things in writing. And when something isn’t right for your child, you don’t agree just to make the meeting easier.

The determined woman at the center of the design captures that particular kind of parental advocacy: informed, persistent and unwilling to be intimidated.

You’re not trying to be difficult. You’re trying to get your child what they need.

And sometimes that means being exactly as difficult as necessary.
