First Day of School

September 11, 2017 by Maria Palacios Leave a Comment

First Day of School

It was your first day of school, and I remember being more nervous than you, and trying to hold back the tears, tears I think most moms experience when their babies go to school for the first time.   But for me, that time, my tears also came from fears rooted in my past — […]

A Mother’s Rant

A Mother’s Rant

I hate it when someone refers to me me as “not normal.” I absolutely detest it. There is no such thing as “normal” to me. We live in a world full of different people; diversity is one of the most beautiful traits of humanity. I have seen different groups of people come together as a […]

Vacation Time at the Lake: Reflections from a Blind Mother

Vacation Time at the Lake: Reflections from a Blind Mother

I have been reminded over this past week, while my family and I were at Mercer lake in Florence Oregon, how the four fundamentals in life are often taken for granted: 1) family, 2) friendship, 3) fun, and 4) fellowship. When things are still and quiet, and we are removed from our everyday busy lives, […]

What Being a Parent Means to Me

August 10, 2017 by Jeff Thom Leave a Comment

What Being a Parent Means to Me

As a totally blind person who is a parent of three, an unpaid foster parent of children who regard my wife and me as their parents, a grandfather, and a host parent of almost a dozen foreign exchange students, it is difficult to put into a few short sentences what being a parent means to […]

Adventures in Parenting

Adventures in Parenting

My son is one of the most interesting characters I have ever met. When all the news came about regarding the “reformed” health care bill, he realized very quickly that it was unfair to his mommy and her friends. I was both sad and proud of his reaction. His ability to empathize with others never […]

Potty Training Made Easier As A Disabled Mom

August 6, 2017 by Christinne Rudd Leave a Comment

Potty Training Made Easier As A Disabled Mom

Potty Training your toddler can be a daunting task for any parent, much less one who has a disability.  When I started training my son during the day, I’d lead him to the bathroom every twenty to thirty minutes so there wouldn’t be the inevitable accident most parents dread.  This went on until he got […]

A Party Invitation Also Invites a Change in Perspective

A Party Invitation Also Invites a Change in Perspective

Typically, when my daughter receives an invitation to a party, I’m excited. I’m thrilled for her and look forward to having fun together while celebrating a special occasion, usually a birthday. Yet a birthday invitation came for a slightly older friend who was having her party at the skating rink. Now, there are several physical […]

The ADA: How Far We Have Come, Yet How Far We Still Have to Go

July 27, 2017 by Carla Charter Leave a Comment

The ADA: How Far We Have Come, Yet How Far We Still Have to Go

The ADA. Here is another view. A view you rarely hear. A view from the other side of disabled parenting. For you see those children with disabilities, they grow up and you are faced with their disability and yours in a different light. Only these days I feel do you truly see the effect of the […]

Reflections on #ADA27

July 27, 2017 by Chris Wylie Leave a Comment

Reflections on #ADA27

As I sit and reflect on the 27th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), I think about both how far we’ve come and how far we have yet to come. I think about the great people, some of whom I’ve been privileged to meet who have lead and accomplished great things, and I […]

Walking and Rolling with My Daughter Thanks to the ADA

July 26, 2017 by Lyllyan Blare 1 Comment

Walking and Rolling with My Daughter Thanks to the ADA

Before I became disabled, I knew what the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was and the reason it was implemented. I understood on a cognitive level why it was important. But when it’s significance became personal to me, the journey from the head to the heart was complete. Now, as a parent with a disability, […]
