Family Village Library Disability Awareness Bandaids and Blackboards This is a site about growing up with medical problems...any ole type. Its goal is to help people understand what it's like, from the perspective of the children and teens who are doing just that. These kids have become experts at coping with problems that most of you have never heard of. They'd like you to know how they do it, and they hope that you'll be glad you came to visit one of the three areas (one for kids, one for teens, and one for adults). Count Me In This puppet program was designed to help children and adults learn about disabilities and chronic illnesses in an effort to bridge the gap between typical students and those with disabilities included in the classroom. Disability Awareness: Articles by High School Students Disability Awareness Game This is a computer-based classroom game from Parents Inc. that may be used to present different disability awareness ideas in a classroom situation. It is designed to generate discussion based on the many misconceptions people have about disabilities. The target audience for this game is 5th grade through high school, although it can be successfully used with lower grades and adults.

All homeschoolers, and home schools should consult their attorney, or HSLDA for all legal matters. Special Needs The most important thing to remember with (most) special needs children is that they learn an objection/problem if it's shown to them in a way that they understand. Yes, it does take time and a strong will (on the parents part) to explore the many ways of showing a child something that he/she just cannot get. Children are learning DELAYED instead of learning DISABLED. There are no special requirements placed on the homeschooling child with special needs.

Sally L. Smith Schooling the Learning-Disabled Child Abroad Sally L. Smith Reprinted from the Foreign Service Journal December 1998 "The teachers are telling me he's lazy and won't try hard enough. They say we have spoiled him in America." "There was no way he could exist in any school in Burma so I had to home-school him." 'My hyperactive twins were kicked out of play group in Tanzania at age three for being 'too immature.'" 'My husband couldn't leave his station in Africa so I alone had to take my two children under three years of age to London for a week of testing." - comments of American parents who have lived abroad with learning-disabled children For parents of children with severe learning disabilities, dyslexia, problems with their own language and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), moving abroad causes great difficulties but can, at times, also bring unexpected gifts. Families have to assess what their child's strengths are as well as areas of weakness - usually well ahead of when they would need to acquire that knowledge in the States. Frequently they unite behind this child and find ways for him or her to succeed in some activities, be it in the arts, physical activities or in some area of the new culture. Diversity can be an attribute, not just a nuisance. Still, the tribulations of parents overseas should not be underestimated.
