You always hear about people blogging their "passions", and if you're like me it always made you feel just a little inadequate. You just didn't get excited enough about something to put in all that effort to share your thoughts with the great wide world. Then one day I realized I do that everyday, only not on imaginary internet paper.
I spend most of my week thinking about, remembering, and researching ways to improve the lives of kids with special needs and their families. I'm pretty sure I bore my family regularly, telling them excitedly about some new trick I figured out to make Mikey eat peas. Do they really care about Mikey getting over his texture issues and swallowing a single pea?
Probably not. But Lindsay's mom, whose kid hasn't eaten a vegetable in three years, would probably (hopefully) eat up any advice I could give! So here's the start of my humble blog. Nothing groundbreaking here, just a simple way to share all the little things I've learned over the past few years in hopes that it will encourage a parent to try something new. I'm by NO means an expert in ANYTHING, and I don't claim to be. But it's a great wide world of confusing information out there, especially for parents of special needs kids. How can I get him to eat? Does she need a compression vest or a weighted vest? What exactly IS a pincer grasp, and more importantly, what good is it if he's using it to draw on my walls?
Here's to looking for those answers together...
