Special Needs Parenting Sucks
2009-04-01 17:55:00 Disclaimer: I love my boys. I love both of them with all my heart and soul. That being said… I HATE being a special needs parent. I hate dealing with their issues. I hate how it drains me after an incident. I hate the feeling of helplessness as I watch my son fall under the influence of his anger. I hate all the appointments. I hate all of it. All of it. Joseph is coming to an age where I need to start censoring what I write here. So I’ll just say he had one of his worst incidents yesterday. This part I can say: It resulted in a phone call while Logan, Poe, and I were at the grocery store with a full cart. Okay fine - Poe will go and leave me at the store, I’ll finish up, and he’ll come back when he’s done. Logan and I finish out shopping. We’re checking out when we get another call. I ignore it, mainly because I’m checking out, and I don’t want to be one of THOSE people. Immediately I get another call, so I take it. C...

What if I have special needs?
2008-04-11 22:30:00 Psychometric tests are an important tool for selecting people with special needs (such as those with a disability), as they are less open to the biases emanating from other systems, such as interviews.

Schoolhouse Strategy: Drum Circles for the Special Needs Classroom
2007-12-01 03:04:00 Drum circles offer a sense of independence within a community situation. A typical drum circle usually involves a variety of instrument sounds including different sized drums, shakers and bells. The participants play their instruments, dance and even sing around a central drum facilitator. Sometimes a large drum may provide a steady underlying pulse for the group to build upon, but other times the group plays to whatever rhythm develops, changing as the drumming continues.A drum circle depends on the ability of the participants to play a steady beat or respond to the musical dynamic with a part that fits into the musical experience. A few people off the beat or not able to follow the directions of the leader will not disrupt the cohesion of the musical product. In a classroom with children with special needs it is still possible, however, to use a drum circle effectively for a group activity. The following strategies may be helpful for successful drumming with children w...

Special Needs While Cruising
2007-08-04 20:05:00 I hear a lot of people say that they are afraid to go on a cruise because of their diet, a handicap, or because of medications. Let me just say that a cruise ship is well equipped to handle just about any type of special need. Give advanced notice of your need or request. Letting it be known at the time of booking will help ensure that anything needed will be ready when you board. If you require a handicap cabin, it is best to book a cruise early because there are limited cabins that may meet your need. Many cruise lines have a varied menu when it comes to meeting different diets. Low sodium, sugar free, and vegetarian options will be labeled accordingly, but letting the cruise line know ahead of time of your needs, may increase the options available for that cruise. When taking medications that need refrigeration (such as insulin), you may be given the option of storing your supplies in the infirmary on board, extra care in making sure you have ice in the cabin, and on some...
