Emergency access is a professional responsibility, not a childhood duty.
CODA series
In moments of urgency, roles can shift in ways that are not always named.
In moments of medical urgency, the absence of professional access is felt most sharply by the smallest person in the room.
Emergency access is a professional responsibility, not a childhood duty.
In crisis, it is the child who should be held, not burdened.
This reflection comes from my perspective as a Deaf parent, shaped by listening to CODA voices and stories over time.
