How I Taught my Kids to Ride a Bike from a Wheelchair

January 1, 2020 by Erin Andrews 2 Comments

How I Taught my Kids to Ride a Bike from a Wheelchair

Currently, my children are ages four (4) and eight (8); they are both non-disabled. It is important to me that they have a physically active lifestyle, even though I am in a wheelchair and limited in the range of activities that I can do. When my son was a toddler, I wanted him to be able […]

The year Santa was in a wheelchair

December 24, 2019 by Maria Palacios Leave a Comment

The year Santa was in a wheelchair

I’ve always known the magic of kids–the magic they bring to Christmas. It’s not the other way around like many people think. Christmas would have no magic without the innocence of kids whose joy brings hope and forgiveness to a, sometimes, hopeless and unforgiving world. Kids do that because childhood is that kind of time […]

How things change: Reflections from a disabled mom about the holidays

How things change: Reflections from a disabled mom about the holidays

Everything was difficult for me as a disabled mom, and I say it that way now looking back as I marvel at how I survived raising kids in a nondisabled world before access to technology afforded us some of the small luxuries we enjoy now, and before disabled moms were as visible as they seem […]

The 12 reasons why I (a mom with a disability) need elves!

December 23, 2019 by Elizabeth Clark Leave a Comment

The 12 reasons why I (a mom with a disability) need elves!

I love the Holidays! I can not contain my smile when I think about them. Really any excuse to give gifts (no matter how small), cook yummy food and get together with friends and family. I love the feeling of building excitement, the day when I start getting to give the gifts I have worked […]

5 Steps to Hope

5 Steps to Hope

As a parent, my children luckily have not had very many occasions where they have to go to the hospital, nevermind stay overnight. I can only recall twice that my younger son has had to stay one night in the hospital. I never had to bring my older son for an overnight. I know I […]

Not in Spite of Me, Because of Me

December 12, 2019 by Elizabeth Clark 1 Comment

Not in Spite of Me, Because of Me

I would like to say that having a disability and being a mother, are two unrelated characteristics about me. Unfortunately, just like all other facets of my life, my role as a mother is directly affected by FA (my disease). Some aspects of my parenting style are the same as they would be, but even […]

Disabled Parenting Experience Review: Visiting “Ultra-Accessible” Morgan’s Wonderland

Disabled Parenting Experience Review:  Visiting “Ultra-Accessible” Morgan’s Wonderland

  We live about an hour away from San Antonio, Texas, and I’ve long been aware of Morgan’s Wonderland, an attraction that is equal parts playground, carnival, and amusement park. What makes Morgan’s Wonderland unique is that it was developed so “those with and without disabilities can come together.” Philanthropist Gordon Hartman developed the park in honor […]

An Open Letter to Mothers of Disabled Children

May 9, 2019 by Erin Andrews 5 Comments

An Open Letter to Mothers of Disabled Children

As a disabled mother, I can’t help but reflect sometimes on my own entrance into the world. As a member of several online (primarily nondisabled) parenting groups, I find myself triggered by social media posts about babies born disabled or young children being diagnosed with disabilities. As a way to process my own emotions, I […]
