Whether due to physical limitations or mobility issues, for many disabled people, working from home may be the most practical option to earn an income. However this should not mean they have to accept inferior levels of work commonly associated with many home working schemes. Disabled people have so much more to offer industry and commerce than simply stuffing envelopes or performing other such un-skilled tasks. There is a largely untapped pool of talent among people with disabilities in the UK, and they are a valuable workforce that should not be ignored. One UK company that is keen to address this issue is Live Agent. It firmly believes people with disabilities deserve to be given the opportunity...

A lot of elderly disabled individuals stare in disbelief when they see or hear that disabled people now go on dates. Understandably so, because during their times, such things were almost taboo as disabled people were considered genderless. They never realized that disabled people are people too, and also long for intimacy and friendship. People with disability then found it hard to find a mate and for those with severe handicaps, there was almost no possibility at all. So do not be surprised at their reaction when they learn of disabled men and women dating. Unlike the normal women, it was really difficult for disabled women to meet other people. However as soon as the dating agencies websites for...

The market for wheelchairs and mobility scooters is rapidly increasing? Why? Because the general population of developed countries is aging and more money is being spent to take care of them and their age related illnesses. In the 1900's only half of the population was expected to survive until the age of 50 years old. However more people are now living and are active well past that age. According to Wikipedia the overall median age of people in developed countries rose from 29 years in 1950 to 37.3 years in 2000, and is forecast to rise to 45.5 by 2050. In other words in 1950 half of the population was under 29 years, and half were older. By 2000, half of the population was under 37 and half were...

Sometimes a light touch is all you need. At least, that's what proponents of craniosacral therapy believe. This relatively new type of massage, which has only been widely used in the alternative mainstream for about 30 years, works to alleviate problems associated primarily with pain and loss of function. It does this by applying very light pressure to evaluate and correct the body's craniosacral system: connected to the brain and spinal cord. While the people who seek out cranisosacral therapy are sometimes disabled individuals or parents of babies who have undergone some type of birth trauma, it is also recommended for people who suffer from migraines, tension, anxiety and other relatively minor...

-- End Ad Box ---> When I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in the mid 1980's as a "diagnosis of exclusion" (see, my illness had been mis-diagnosed for about 25 years prior to this initial "diagnosis") I became VERY angry with God. "Why me", I asked. Why did I have to be the one you inflicted with this terrible disease? Why couldn't you let the Doctors conclusively diagnose the condition? Why did I have to keep pretending that the Doctors were mistaken, just so that I could live my day-to-day life? I was asking the wrong question, you see. Instead of asking "Why me, God?", I should have been asking, "Why NOT me, God?" See, I was trying to become the "before the diagnosis" me, and I just could...

The quest for independence has been seen in all people and in all races for many years. People are prepared to die for their independence. Bloody wars are fought for freedom from suppression by religious or race groups. The one thing we all value the most is our freedom and independence.

With all the aids and assistive items available to help disabled people in their need to be independent it has become relatively easy to live alone or to at least be able to do most things for themselves.

There is not much difference between dating among disabled people and able bodied people. Of course, I am not going to deny that there are few exceptions to this notion. Regrettably, most of the disabled people are not fertile and it is because of this that many of them are not willing to get in to dating disabled people because they feel that there is no use looking for a relationship when they are unable to have children. The only way to handle this situation is to encourage the disabled to join dating disabled online. By encouraging the disabled to join the dating disabled online sites, you can slowly encourage that person to meet new people and find new friends. People are able to have open and...

In most families, child-rearing duties fall to the mother in the household. Moms have some of the most demanding and under-appreciated careers in the world. And guess what? For moms there is no "TGIF" party, no weekend for mom to recharge her batteries. You may have noticed over summer vacation that when other people have vacation, if anything, mom gets busier. We men have our jobs, too, and they can be tiring. But we get to go outside, meet other people, and change our environment every morning. So what's a father to do with his kids? Even more so, what can the father be doing if one of his children is not going to school? The easiest thing to do ( and what I see most often) is the blame game...

Experiencing firsthand what it's like to give birth to a child with special needs! During my pregnancy with my only daughter, I had no idea she was going to be born with Down Syndrome and what was in store in the days ahead. I was about to be giving birth to a special needs child too early. When I was nearly 32 weeks pregnant, my precious little baby girl was not moving for some reason. I did all the tricks and tips the nurses suggested - didn't work! I am a worry wort so, just as a precaution, I decided to drive myself to the hospital just to see if everything was ok. Turns out, after a few long anticipating hours, the doctors decided to do an emergency c-section. My precious little unborn angel...

Celebrate cerebral palsy and the small victories. No, it does not mean anyone is ever happy that he/she, or a loved one, has permanent brain damage. It simply means to be glad for every accomplishment toward independence, no matter how small. For example, if you have a child with CP, he/she may never walk. However, learning to use the control on an electric wheelchair can provide some autonomy. It might be the not-so-simple act of buttoning a shirt. People without brain injury take so many things for granted. Yet, this seemingly small act should be considered a large victory. No, it is not fair that you or someone you love has cerebral palsy. But, no one ever said life was fair. It does no good to...

Florida law requires Parenting Plans for all divorcing couples with children starting October 1, 2008. Florida law divides parenting issues into three categories: parental responsibility, time sharing and support. This article examines the support section of a parenting plan. Both parents have a legal requirement to support their children, regardless of the parents' marital status. Florida has a formula to calculate child support in Florida Statute 61.30. The calculation involves using the total of both parents' net monthly incomes and the chart in Florida Statute 61.30, to find the "guideline amount" of child support. This is the amount the court will presume is correct. It is the total amount that...

I was sitting in a meeting one evening with other parents like me.  We were all alumni from ICEC, an organization providing various therapies to our special needs children.  The meetings were always moderated by a psychologist who helped us work through our grieving, healing, and milestones.  Thank goodness because we needed all the mental help we could summon.  You know that saying “It takes a village?”  It does. It takes a village of psychologists and pharmacists to get through such staggering times like that. Nevertheless,  it was quite a liberating group and it was the first time that I realized I could just be myself with no hang-ups, nothing to prove, and nothing to be egotistical...

The current presidential election has created a novel situation for those of us who work with kids with special needs. Governor Palin has promised that if she is elected to work with John McCain in the White House, she will be an advocate for families who have children with special needs. As I thought about the possibilities this might present for reform of the special education system, I inevitably considered the TAKS testing that goes on in Texas. This is the Texas Assessment of Skills and Knowledge test that is used to establish minimum standards for passing certain grade levels. The results of the exam are used to meet requirements for the federal guidelines in No Child Left Behind. I am just an...

Introduction Education in the United Kingdom has undergone various changes over the past few decades. The government has passed laws that discourage less use of special schools; instead there is more focus on integration. These changes have sparked a wide range of reactions and discussions about the topic. There is a need to unravel the true definition or the most acceptable of inclusive education. Additionally one needs to assess whether or not inclusive education has brought positive changes. The negative consequences need to be analysed too. A thorough discussion on inclusive education must not neglect the need for parental involvement and roles played by teachers to facilitate the transition...

Though I am a teacher first and foremost because I adore the kids, I admit that a wonderful extra benefit is getting to know the children's families. I was blessed to meet the Ambrose family when I taught two of their three children several years ago. Having one child with special needs, Susan Ambrose has worked tirelessly to help raise funds and awareness for other causes. Her company, Puzzles For Cures, is pleased to announce that they have received written approval from the Autism Society of America (ASA) to use its patented ribbon, created with colorful puzzle pieces, to manufacture a puzzle of the well-recognized symbol. The puzzle has already been well received as an effective fundraising tool...

Toilet training is a hard task and having to train children with special needs does not make it easier. It calls for patience and a lot of love on the part of the parent or the caretaker. It may not be as easy as training a normal child. These children include those with autism, retardation, Down's syndrome, cerebral palsy among others. Mentally and psychologically, such children face a lot of challenges and their development is not normal. Learning for a kid mostly depends on his mind's development level and not his chronological age as most of us tend to think. This tells you that if the mind is impaired, then learning will be quite a challenge. To toilet train children with special needs, you...

Primary schools in the UK are broadly divided into state managed primary schools and private primary schools. State primary schools are funded by the government and strictly follow the guidelines laid down by the law when it comes to admissions. A vast section of the UK population sends their children to state schools, as these schools provide education free of cost. Private or independent preparatory schools, on the other hand, charge a fee for providing education as prescribed by the National Curriculum. There are more than 2,500 private schools in the UK. These schools are known to provide better learning facilities when compared to state run schools. Good private primary schools offer more...
