It’s IEP season! If you’re like me, you probably just finished up your IEP or are gearing up to go in for yours. Chances are that if you have a child with autism, ADD, ADHD, speech delays, Down syndrome, epilepsy, rare disease, etc., you’ve probably been in an IEP meeting for your child.

The Infinite Benefits of Including Students With Disabilities

I was in my daughter’s middle school for a meeting with some of her teachers. As I was walking down a hallway with a few of them they stated, “Look, there is Yassy! She is cycling away. We hear she loves to go in that room and ride the bike for the whole gym class. She is in great shape.” I looked in the room and there weren’t many other kids in there. It was new, with a glass wall, so I saw her and took this photo. It is blurry because I was trying to be quick, so as not to distract her.

What I Realized About My Own Physical Scars After Watching Netflix's 'Skin Decisions'

I have 25 visible scars on my body representing 103 of the surgeries I have been through. I know for a fact that the seven long thick lines across my stomach represent 52 surgeries I’ve had on my digestive system alone. The two on my ankles represent the many times doctors failed to find veins in my arms and had to resort to using odd places. The two between my thighs represent even more desperate attempts to try and get the things back to working. The one across my back is a story from when I was a baby and the small one over my right breast is the time I had surgery on my heart. And yet through all the scars, I rejoice in having no regrets.

In the absence of a vaccine, and with no real prospect of eradicating the disease, the virus spreading among younger people, mostly without hitting the vulnerable, is creating immunity that will eventually slow the epidemic.
