Special Needs Blogger Weekend Link-Up: Whatcha got?


It's another Special Needs Blogger Weekend Link-Up, a place to share posts and read a bunch from parents who totally get it.

The idea

Link to a favorite post of the week—yours or someone else's.

What to do

Scroll all the way down to the bottom of this post. Where it says "Your name" put the name of the blog followed by the title of the post (or just the name of the post, if there's no room—you get 80 characters).

Like this: Love That Max: I Am Saving Up To Go To Carsland

Where it says "Your URL" put the direct link to the post.

Click "Enter." Leave a comment if you want to say more. Go check out some great posts.

Happy linking!

  2. Thank you once again for hosting this link up. I always find great blogs to read because of it. My post this week deals with the opposite of what most people with special needs kids want -- I want people to see the bad that comes with the good. Why? I hear time and again what great kids I have, and I do, but people don't believe our children have sensory issues because they don't always see them in action. This post is for them.

  9. In the spirit of awareness and just plain great writing I linked to the blog of a woman I have come to know these last couple months. She lived in my town. Her blog has received national attention so I am sure many of your have heard of it "Blessed by Brenna." It is written by the mother of an amazing little girl named Brenna who was born with a very serious and rare skin disease . The blog is a very positive and upbeat blog but I actually linked to an older post that I found to be so honest. In the post Courtney talked about processing her feelings regarding her daughter's life-long disability. Since my son also has a rare skin condition and visual difference (although not as serious) I could really relate to much of what she wrote. Yet, I think ANY parent of a special needs child can relate to to this post and her blog. She is an amazing writer and I encourage you to take 5 min of of your day and go read her story. It is life changing!

    1. Anon, the widget that lists the names of all the posts (with links) should be showing up. Try using Firefox if you're using Safari, and vice versa.

  15. Thank you again for doing this, Ellen!

    This week I shared a post, detailing my son's specific case of Spina Bifida (with lots of pics and videos!). Since I started blogging, I've had many friends and family member say something along the lines of, "I didn't know Liam had all of that going on."

    I wrote this post in the hopes of spreading some much-needed SB awareness.

    Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

  16. I'm the oldest of eight now grown kids. My mom adopted four special needs boys when I was young, and then two homeless girls when we were teens. I decided to share the post where I talk about how lucky we all are!! Of course, I also admit that it took me a little while to see that...

    Thank-you again for letting us share!! I'm off to peek at some of the others now!!
    Happy weekend!!

  17. Wow! Such great blogs! Thanks so much for bringing us all together, Ellen!

    This week at Life After IEPs we celebrate the gift of learning from young adult self advocates. There are many links to the websites and Facebook pages of young leaders who experience disabilities. These young people are loving their own lives - and are passionate about empowering their younger peers. It's a delight to learn from them.

    Have a great weekend, everybody!

  19. I've posted a link to a post I just published! It's about a trip to Nicaragua I took and the emotion I found in visiting an institution, this is an experience that is very dear to my heart.

  20. Dear Ellen: I've posted the Sonia and Sam story again--just in case anyone missed it last week. It is only two weeks until this couple with developmental disabilities marries. It has been so heartwarming supporting them and seeing how their community has come together to give them the wedding of their dreams. Their local news interviewed them on Friday night. I hope they post the link to that story, too. Anyway, thanks for this opportunity to share. Happy weekend to all!
