To the Parents of Children with Disabilities in the Class of 2020, For the first time in the history of parenthood, every parent is standing in your shoes.

Life has not turned out as planned, and they are grieving. They are mourning what should have been, could have been, and what will be.

You experience this daily, mostly with grace, and courage, and sometimes with anger, tears, and unbridled emotion. The world, in a small way, now understands how you feel.

What I Hope the Movie 'Triumph' Will Teach People About Disability
“Believe to achieve.” Those three words come from dialogue I wrote in my revised screenplay titled “Triumph.” Ironically, when I wrote this first screenplay of mine around 30 years ago, I titled it “Going the Distance.” Today, after revising my screenplay throughout the years and striving to produce the movie, those three words are a strong testament to never giving up and going the distance.

Tips for Keeping Your Young Child With a Disability Busy During COVID-19
Well, it’s official. Most states have closed schools for the rest of the year due to coronavirus. Some of us have child care of some sort, but most of us do not. And most of us haven’t had the chance to be with our child for such a long uninterrupted time (aka 24/7) since our kiddos were teeny tiny. And even if we have been, well, there just aren’t as many places to take your children as there were before.

To the Mom Who Invited My Son With Down Syndrome to a Kindergarten Playdate
I am writing to thank you.  Ever since R was born and subsequently diagnosed with Down syndrome, I have worried about his friendships and social interactions. Would he have friends growing up? Would he be invited to play with other kids? Would he be included? As kindergarten was rounding the corner and he would be starting his elementary school career, my anxiety raged. At his preschool over half the students had other diagnoses, so the parents mostly understood and supported all the kids. What would it be like in an environment where hardly any of the kids had a disability diagnosis? Would the other kids be interested in my son? Would the other parents support and encourage a friendship with my son?

What is Reparenting and Steps To Begin
Are you still struggling with your childhood wounds well into your adult life? Do you know that the practice of reparenting can hugely help in dealing with this?Our childhood is where the subconscious mind is formed.It’s also where we learn how we process emotions, what relationships look like, how to hold boundaries, and countless other habits and behaviors.Ideally, our parents are two self-actualized people who allow their children to be seen and heard as the unique individual they are. The reality is that we live in a culture that does not reach conscious awareness, so most of us are born toUnconscious parents are repeating the same habits and patterns they’ve learned.

What It's Like to Receive a Cancer Diagnosis at 24
Summer is my favorite season because I get to spend two months in my happy place: sleepaway camp. This summer was not unlike the previous, but it was overshadowed by evenings of intense headaches and excessive tiredness. I did not think much of it until a week a half after moving to my new apartment in Boston. I really was feeling off and it was not just because my body needed some extra compassion after two months of non-stop work and fun. When I started developing some additional symptoms, my primary care doctor called me at 10 pm and said it was time to go to the emergency room.

Why I Want Kids to Ask Questions About My Son With Disabilities
The ground is covered in a thin layer of crunchy early winter snow. I walk along a slippery path with a hundred other people toward the horse-drawn sleighs of a rural farm theatre company. The ease of movement is so freeing. I have left my 5-year-old son with disabilities at home this evening so I can take my other children to this magical theatre experience. We find our spot crowded on hay bales and I am sitting at the front closest to the horses. A 13-year-old boy climbs up onto the wagon. He is friends with some of the other children sitting across from me. He looks at me and asks for my spot, because he loves horses. I move over, and he squeezes in beside me.

How to Practice Caregiver Self-Care on the Cheap for COVID-19 and Beyond
We parents hear time and again that if we don’t take care of ourselves, we can’t take care of our children. It’s been said so many times because it is true! Until recently, I thought self-care was too expensive, too exhausting, and too time-consuming. Before children, I had hobbies and engaged in self-care every day. After children, that dropped drastically.

What Being Raised by a Mother With a Disability Taught Me
I am constantly overcoming my obstacles, or at least try to at every turn. When I would go to my family’s or friends’ houses and they forgot to let me know they had a couple of steps, I’d crawl up them like a dog on all fours. I lived in the Bay Area and when I got to the 16th and Mission Bart station, I quickly learned the elevator was broken, even though I checked the site and called the Bart info line. The only alternative was to take it to 24th and Mission and push myself to 16th St. I realized going down the stairs was an easier option for me.

To My Son With Autism on His Graduation Day
This is it, the day you have been waiting for, the day you worked so hard to get to, the day I’ve looked forward to with equal parts excitement and equal parts fear: high school graduation. It doesn’t look like we expected, it’s not the day we planned, yet somehow it’s all OK. As you have learned, life doesn’t always go as planned and I know unexpected change is difficult for you, but, as you have with every step in life, you will rise above it, you will adapt and you will soar.

Why I Prefer to Be Called 'Disabled,' Not a 'Person With a Disability'
Language can be a defining feature within any community, but it’s especially the case within the disability community. Language surrounding disability has evolved so much over time that it is not surprising when some people seem shocked that certain terms are outdated. Language changes and evolves in the blink of an eye, and it can be hard to keep up.

How Parents of Kids With Disabilities Can Practice Self-Care During COVID-19
As a mother of a child on the autism spectrum, I’ve learned that self-care must be a high priority. Early on in my parenting journey, I realized if I didn’t fill my needs first, I couldn’t fill the significant needs of my son. In my book “It Takes a Village: Get Your Hands Dirty and Build Yours From the Ground Up,” the first chapter focuses on just that.

How COVID-19 Is Affecting Health Care Access for Disabled People
The COVID-19 pandemic has focused attention on those on the frontlines and COVID-19 patients. However, this focus ignores those with chronic health needs and disabilities. People with these conditions are left unable to continue their care or to seek care for new exacerbations. People are avoiding the ER and dying at home. Needed surgeries are postponed leaving patients with continuing pain and disability. And for many, a fear exists of not only acquiring COVID-19, but of being denied a ventilator due to prejudicial views about the value of disabled lives.

The Toll My Learning Disability Takes on My Sense of Direction
One of the biggest challenges of my learning disability is the concepts of directions. I am unable to tell someone how to get to my house. I also don’t understand when people give me directions to places and I often get lost. Most people do not understand that it is a part of my disability. I have been labeled “dumb, difficult or not trying” because I can’t give directions.

Navigating the COVID-19 Pandemic as a Parent With Type 1 Diabetes
I am the mother of two beautiful children, a boy who is 13 and a girl who is 10. I could also say I have a third child, who is almost 7 years old, named type 1 diabetes. For anyone who isn’t familiar with type 1 diabetes, it is an autoimmune disease in which your pancreas stops making insulin. So from the day of diagnosis, at age 37, I became the proud owner of a beautiful, yet broken, pancreas.

Doctors Explain How More Screen Time Lowers Brain Growth in Kids
Unfortunately, many parents engage in too much screen time and spend too little time playing and interacting with their children. Even worse, parents today tend to use tablets and smartphones to pacify and babysit their children so they can have the freedom to do other things. However, this type of passive parenting can have long-lasting detrimental effects on children, from developmental to psychological disorders.
