A Thousand Words
Sometimes looks can be deceiving. Today was picture day at Grace’s school. She does remote school so picture day meant we had to go to the physical school building and have her picture taken. Grace has been sick for about … Continue reading
IEP
Parents of school-age special needs kids know what this title means and likely have a visceral reaction to the three little letters. An IEP is an individualized educational program, a/k/a the legal document that guides a school district’s provision of … Continue reading

Vocation
It has been exactly two weeks since my last day of employment. Since then, I have done a lot of cleaning, spent time with all the kids, helped out at Chad’s office, and had some job interviews. I haven’t heard … Continue reading
Independence
When Gracie was little, we couldn’t imagine how she would manage school without someone right by her side helping her get through the days. We ended up accepting a placement for her at the preschool in our district with the … Continue reading
The Great Discriminator
A few days ago, I read a post on Love That Max about how people with disabilities are largely excluded from worship services. Many people in the comments section of Love That Max’s Facebook post linking to the article shared … Continue reading
