These are all helpful links for any parent of children with disabilites. A couple of them are Government links and one leads to SS page of benefits for these children. (and parents)\nHope this will help you. I know it will keep you busy searching and reading if it is what you want. Best wishes to you and your child. Doug

The first website is specifically for the parents of Deaf children, the second one will get you into a chat room.\nhttp://www.deafchildren.org/asdc/\nhttp://www.deafchatcoffee.com/\n\nThis is a very important website that can teach you about the Deaf community\nhttp://www.nad.org/site/pp.asp?c=foINKQMBF&b=91587\n\nAlso, do a search for "_________ (your area/state) association of the Deaf"  many communities have silent dinner or other gatherings, and you will find many people who want to help you and your son, and they will be thrilled that you want to be a part of their community

a club for challenged kids.\nWhat a wonderful idea.  My daughter in law in Florida is a teacher for\nchildren with disabilities.\nGet a club together from the students who would like to help, quite possibly some teachers would like to get involved. \nMy twin brother, had been in a wheelchair all his life. He cannot even feed himself.  However, because of the way we treated him, never as handicapped, and the teacher would come home to teach him............\nHe is smarter than me......Pays more attention, because he cannot walk fast, run etc.....the electric wheelchair I purchased for him......That was his freedom!!    He flys to Florida etc, my son's pick him up.\nIf your question is still on line, I will be speaking with my daughter in law and maybe I can give you more ideas.\nWhen we help them to help themselves, and give them hope..It's great!!\nYou are certainly one VIP in this world!!!!\nLater I hope to get back to you.

You might have better luck with answers to this question if you try it in a different category. This category deals with issues related to teaching children who have disabilities.  Try the Entertainment and Music category.  Good luck with it.

I would recommend the following websites: \n\nhttp://www.paulakluth.com/autism.html (Website of Paula Kluth, Ph.D. - her book, "You're Going to Love this Kid!: Teaching Students with Autism in the Inclusive Classroom" is also great). \n\nhttp://www.autismawarenesscentre.com/default.asp?page=dynamicweb.asp&pcid=0&pid=45 ("The Discovery of 'Aspie' Criteria by Dr. Tony Attwood and Carol Gray"). \n\nhttp://www.autism.org/temple/tips.html (Teaching Tips for Children and Adults with Autism by Temple Grandin, Ph.D.). \n\n"Work to view my autism as a different ability rather than a disability. Look past what you may see as limitations and see the gifts autism has given me. I may not be good at eye contact or conversation, but have you noticed I don't lie, cheat at games, tattle on my classmates, or pass judgment on other people?" - "Ten Things Every Child with Autism Wishes You Knew" by Ellen Notbohm ( http://www.southflorida.com/sfparenting/sfe-sfp-autism,0,6196233.story ) \n\nI hope this helps! :)

Your question is rather vague. Disability studies is a wide field, and questionnaires are usually very specific.\n\nAlso, are you looking for information to make your own questionnaires, or are you looking for ones that are already made that you can answer?\n\nTry the following sites:\n\nhttp://www.cec.sped.org/\nhttp://www.ldonline.org/\nhttp://www.reading.org/\nhttp://www.kidsource.com/kidsource/pages/dis.learning.html

You might want to try looking in all surrounding cities and your city at their recreation listing I work with a power soccer team and a a sport camp for handicap children through the city I live in.  The recreation departments usually have teams or camps for special needs children.

I understand your worry.  How disabled is your daughter?  Is it possible for her to get along in a group home with others with her same condition where they have people to help and monitor the situation? Maybe to start introducing her to prospective situations or people now so that she is familiar with them.  Do you belong to a religious community?  Since I don't know how much help your daughter needs its hard to think of ideas but you are welcome to e-mail me - I will try and help you think of ideas for the future.

I am not a doctor, I am a special education teacher.  So, my advise is not medical.  Yes, they absolutely can make wonderful parents.  Developmental disabilities can mean many different things.  If they have mild learning disabilities, a person would generally not even know they have special needs by speaking/interacting with them.  They have an abundance of support systems available for people with disabilities.  SSI is a main one, and no, that does not mean our tax dollars pay for their services.  They have incentives to work but at the same time keep some of their medical benefits.  There are services that come in and teach the needed skills, i.e. parenting, to make the transition into parenthood as easy as possible.  People with disabilities are some of the most caring individuals you will ever meet.  It may take them a little longer to grasp certain concepts, however with support groups, this is possible.  Check out microboards on the Internet, they are support groups of people who are centered around the individual with a disability.
