Special Needs Blogger Weekend Link-up: A very special place


It's the Special Needs Blogger Weekend Link-up, a special place to share special posts about special kids and special feelings and all things special. Isn't that special? And why does that word start looking so weird when you see it seven times in a row?

Note: A few people have had trouble posting using Internet Explorer. Try a different browser!

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).

Happy linking!

  1. Thanks again, Ellen! Today is one year since Dexter's central line (chemotherapy cord) was taken out. He's still in his double leg casts, from his hip adduction op., but... he has found his laugh! Could there be a better sound? Happy weekend. Dexter's at #7

  3. Many of my link-up lately, okay all of them, have focused on my older son, the one with some special issues, so I decided to share a post (Oh, the faith of a child!) about my younger son. Thanks for the link up!

  5. Sharing about a word that I find myself using so often when talking about my daughter. As parents we live as if our miracle is just around the corner. Thanks for allowing me to be a part of our link up!

  6. We moved for my son (with DS) to attend an inclusive preschool. My link up is about how this decision has finally come full circle. Baker is thriving and I am a proud mama!

  7. From my Disability Thinking Blog

    #37 Minimum Wage ... Updates and Further Thoughts - about why many people with disabilities won't get the raise announced by President Obama, and what people are doing about it.

    #39 Practical Disabilities of Being An Amputee - not just for amputees! Sharing a video from AmputeeOT, that includes important thoughts on positivity, difficult realities, and not comparing yourself to others.

  8. Grateful to find you via Twitter - a new world for me! My blog post is about my daughter who is neurotypical. It's easy to spend so much time thinking about our special needs kids. Actually, I struggle with that word, special needs, and it's something I am working out in my brain. I am trying to see people as people regardless of conditions, but of course, labels are important for a variety of ways. I'm so open to thoughts on this. I appreciate your writing and your perspective!

  9. The parents of "only" children with Ds or other intellectual disabilities have unique concerns and little to no support. We need to find each other and stick together!
