I'd like to share the following special
message I received from Don Lewis of Ability Labs. He looked over the CEANet
website and noticed a need to include a few links related to help those whose
abilities may have changed.
God Bless All of You,
Jim @ CEANet

Hi,
My son, Randy, was in an accident when
he was in college that changed his physical and mental abilities. I remember
right after it happened going to support groups, mostly because I wanted to
learn how I could help our family adjust in a healthy and harmonious way and to
not feel alone in my experience. I remember meeting a lot of parents whose
amazing children had been differently-abled their
whole lives, and it really made me think about how I would have wanted to make
sure Randy always felt included had he been little when his abilities changed.
Now that I’ve finally started my own
site to support other families who have a differently-abled
member, I want to honor the parents of young children who work so hard to see
that their little ones are always included, especially this time of year when
there is so much outdoor fun to be had. I found your site, and it seemed like
the information I’ve been looking up might be a good fit for one of your
resources pages:
Backyard Camping for Kids with Disabilities
Playground Tips for Children with Special Needs
Teaching Swimming to Children with Disabilities: Benefits & Safety
Precautions
Accessible Entertaining: Making Sure Your Disabled Guests Feel Safe and
Welcome in Your Home
The Best Bikes for Special Needs Kids
Finding the Right Hotel for Your Child with Special Needs
32 Vacation Destinations for Individuals with Special Needs
So if you’d like to use anything on
this list, maybe on a resources page for parents of special needs children, I
welcome you to. I sincerely appreciate your support of special needs
individuals and their families. I’m still in touch with many of the parents I
met from my support groups, and to me, they are unsung heroes. I’m glad to find
sites like yours singing their praises.
Thanks,
Don

P.S. Please let me know if I’ve reached
out by mistake and you don’t want me to email you again. I apologize if I have.
