However people are free to call Amelia a cutie pie I can never get enough of that. Its hard enough to talk to parents to children with extra needs, lets NOT make it more challenging. <br /><br />Oh and Terry, its NOT a poem... its a post. Please learn the difference.

I work as an Integration Aids in a public school with children with a variety of Developmental Disabilities. <br />I hope that you don't mind that I have adapted the wording to include all CP children, with your site at the bottom, so I can distribute it to my collegues, some of whom are very uncomfortable around children with any kind of disability! <br />Thank you once again for a beautiful poem!
