Can You Help?

As parents of a child with a disability you often come accross something that you would not usually come accross with a typically developing child. Sometimes you are faced with a challenge and you do not know where to turn...With the creation of the internet people have more available resources then ever before.
We type in a question and answers just fly at us..

This is one of those pages that help parents connect, share and learn.

There are things you have tried and have succeeded with...there are things that have not gone so well either.

Here are a few problems that people have stated they have.... can we help find a solution?


Q: My daughter is left handed and developmentally disabled, we are concerned about her ability to write in the future. She shows no interest in writing holds her crayons in the palm of her hand. She will fight when her hand is touched to change to the correct position and she does not like hand over hand...any suggestions?



Q: My children are typically developing except for one. We always feel guilty one way or the other, either we spend too much time with our disabled child and neglect the others or we feel we aren't doing enough because we help our other children out. Could we be doing more for our disabled child? We have tried doing academic work at home but we are constantly battling more ADL skills, should we focus more on her academics at home (this takes a lot of time and can become frustrating when constantly interrupted)?

Please email your responses so we may post them and help others with our solutions!
