The Caregiver's Corner: "Taking a Break"

Thank you so very much for your postings over these last several months.  Your words come with much love, experience and a desire to ease the way for all caring for children with learning differences.  You are a gifted writer, and clearly children with differences and writing are two of your passions.

These two are also my passions.  A teacher for 15 years, many, many of these children and others with emotional needs were enrolled in my classroom.  Mine was a regular ed. classroom, but 15% of my kids, at least, increasing in numbers through the years, were children with special needs...ADD to autism, selective mustism, depression....

Along with the difficulties these children had fitting in socially and acadmically in our schools, I saw their incredible gifts.  Based on their strengths, I have done research and have written my paper, posted at my website, offers a paradigm switch about children on the spectrum. Passions for drawing and writing and sitting quietly together on the park bench....please visit my site: HeartCenteredMinds.com and consider this different empowering perspective.  Much love.     

This is off the subject. But I have been labeled all my life. It is true other people they only see the disability or label they don't see the person. It's like we're numbers were not special people people. I can not spell that.
