I will never, ever forget the sight of those burning buildings. <br /><br />Well said, Barbara, and than you, Ceebee.<br /><br />Mary Anne, email incoming!Ellen Seidmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01433429847255621203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-401303964563152307.post-84335738726691292532012-09-12T19:50:40.782-04:002012-09-12T19:50:40.782-04:00Hi Ellen,

Tincture of time (sic)helps too. I have been on both sides of the room, first working with people who had various special needs - even pyromania (fire setting); one too many industrial accidents left me with multiple disabilities. In 14 years in the field I learned more than I ever taught. If I made a slight difference in anyone's life I am grateful.

I especially love seeing how Patrick and his family have found a way for him to be productive with his abilities! Then to see how you are using that as an example for your children AND reaching out to thank others! Will have to steal this idea for my family. Hope you don't mind!

I am so thrilled to hear from you. I am glad to spread the word about Patrick and his business, and glad that he was part of a meaningful activity for my kids—which in turn inspired other people to do something meaningful. Please, let us all know if it is possible to purchase Patrick's mixes online or in some other way, I looked but couldn't find!<br /><br />Anon, I get what you are saying. When I ask people to see the "ability" instead of the "disability," I'm not saying to ignore the fact that Max has trouble, say, using his hands or that his speech is hard to understand. You can't deny it, it's part of who he is. I'm asking people to see what he CAN do, and (metaphorically) understand what he is capable of. It sounds like you do that.

Here’s a short description of the website:<br /><br />Information Connections, a website for parents of children with developmental disabilities and chronic diseases was developed by the Marianjoy Medical Library with funding from the National Library of Medicine. The website serves as an information portal to resources and websites with a special focus on autism, cerebral palsy, ADHD, Down syndrome, and traumatic brain injury, and others. <br />http://www.informationconnections.org/Default.aspx<br />Hope you find it useful!<br />Jumpman256https://www.blogger.com/profile/12619937673150676096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-401303964563152307.post-58211165597767666932012-09-11T12:37:48.054-04:002012-09-11T12:37:48.054-04:00Nice gestures all around.

I'm sure your life must be very busy, so it's great that you think of these things, actually take action, and involve your children.<br /><br />After this post my mind is churning as I continue to work out the issue of relating to differently-abled people. This is in no way intended to be negative. Along the way you have encouraged us to see the person instead of the disability, to the point that I've wondered how I'm supposed to ignore what my senses and brain process. Here, you "made a beeline" for a booth with a man in a wheelchair, and made a point of creating a special discussion around the man's cookies. What this suggests to me is that it's not about denying what we see, but about what we do with it next. I HAVE learned to respect the abilities of those have to do things differently on this site. The other may come too, but it will be way down the road once we follow suit and have enough interactions over time.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-401303964563152307.post-46981965227918155072012-09-11T11:30:55.475-04:002012-09-11T11:30:55.475-04:00Thank you - have a gentle day ....
