This type of image would would be awesome for a cake topper, instead of one in a chair and one standing.  It would break the stereotype of one person being the care provider.  It could also be the hippy way that Wifey and I did our wedding by sitting on the floor.  With Bride and Groom being on the same level it shows that they are equals.

Having a Disability is hard for the whole family...

Having a Disability is hard for the whole family, nobody has all of the answers even those who think they better. I know parenting is not a friendship, but at the right age the parent and child need to work together to see if they are taking the right path. They need to support each other in the failures and their successes. In addition, this will help the child gain their independence a learn how to network.

What every parent hopes for in these first weeks of school. Kids are more likely to step out of the box and include others, because they are so honest about how they feel.

This is just brilliant!


I think this is awesome idea, I just think its just time to come up with ways to make things accessible and bring together as partners and a team. It would be odd to try and have a conversation riding this.  I not nocking the idea, but I would feel too separated from Wifey, or my friend while using this.
I know it is an age thing, I would loved this as a kid. Now I would rather do things with people.

Accessible Caves

This reminds me of when Wifey and I went to luray caverns in VA.  to us it seemed accessible even the some ramp we steep. I think we were more amazed that underground everything was ramped and not stairs.

I open Today's meeting at UC2 by stating that I was not only there for my concerns, but more importantly as an voice for the clients who can't express them selves. It would have been so easy for me to go tell them what I think is wrong with UC2, but how far would that have gotten me.

Instead, I pointed out the fact that staff are like family to their client and how unhealthy it could be when people just come and go out of their lives. The good thing is, I notice a lot of notes being taken.  I also learn they are taking steps to better educate staff about their duties. My reason for meeting was to express more frustration about the frequency of staffing turn over is.

I left on this thought, we have 20 people fighting so much to be the next president they can can only say how the other person messed up. but not really  saying what they can to better for our country. The easy part in life is point fingers, but creating change is a life time of work.
