The Special Parent | Special People Parenting Special Kids

This week rather than featuring articles from the news I thought I would single out some simply spectacular posts from Blogging About Disablism 2008. There were so many great posts that were submitted and I’m sure you all didn’t have time to read through all of them. I’ve singled out several in a variety of different categories….if you read one that I didn’t single out I’d love to have you point them out in the comments below. Please understand if you weren’t singled out it’s not a negative to your article but I try to only list between 5-7 articles a week so people have a chance to actually check them out
