my former highschool (and most highschools in the area) have a program/club called Partners Club, where not only kids with disabilitys (from mild to severe) can get together and do fun things. but also mainstream kids! one year i volunteered to coach bowling for most of the special education children, i'm not very good at bowling, but it was SO much fun!\nthey put all kinds of activities and events together! you should try to do something like this.

Go into some of the classes with your child. You and your child can tell them what it is like to be disabled and have a disabled child. I think everyone would be more aware of disabilities. Good luck.

I think it differs by where you are located but your best bet is to find out who your ADA Coordinator is and contacting them about getting special accommodations for those with disabilities. If I knew where you were located I might be able to be more help.

I had a friend win one from a teen club. But, sometimes colleges go to schools. Or you can sign up to enter into one. If lucky they pick you. For more information ask your school

Justin, be honest about being disabled.  Check out places like netfriendships.com  and create your home page.

What ages ??\n \nWe have a "Inner Beauty" club for middle school girls (grades 6-8) and a "Men's Club" for the boys there.  The IB focuses on good self-esteem, etc., for the girls, and the MC focuses on being good mentors to younger students in the elementary grades, going over there 1X/wk to help with reading, etc. , and setting a good example.

Do you mean you would like to be the founder of one? Just from experience in my little city..everything they tried here did not work..kids still brought drugs and the places ended up closing down...some ideas are an arcade type place, or maybe an open gym at the high school or something..those ideas have seemed to stick in my city...go to the city council or something and see what they think..if hte kids being in trouble is bad enough for them to care, they may help you with money or advertising...good luck!\n\nIf you were looking for places..you may get some ideas from htere too....good luck!\n\nhttp://www.californiacenter.org/pages/about_programs.htm\nhttp://fourhcyd.ucdavis.edu/\nhttp://www.ccis.com/home/ltravis/\nhttp://www.empowering-youth.org/\nhttp://www.losalyouth.org/

I raised TWO Disabled children as a single parent (and yes, one of my children was Asperger's Syndrome -- High Functioning Autism).\n\nMy own suggestions are this:  Have you tried Scouting Activities -- you know -- Boy Scouts, does he participate in after school groups or activities, and even how about JROTC At his High School?\n\nJust because someone has a disability -- do NOT overlook the current programs that their non-disabled peers enjoy in the High School -- because they CAN and DO participate in these programs.  My own children did the JROTC programs, the Team Sports, the Scouting, etc -- and now that they are adults -- they have fond memories of every program that they participated in -- and this includes horseback riding, rifle/shotgun shooting, fencing clubs, scouting camps, etc.

I have a son with mental retardation. (this is a more correct way of describing him rather than "he is mentally retarded").\n\nThrough his school years, he had a few classes with "normal" school kids involved.  These became good friends over the years.  Our school system had special activities which included both "normal" and "disabled" kids in the same activity.  These included a Circle of Friends program (movies, bowling, parties, etc.), Unified Sports (part of special olympics where teams are mixed), etc.\n\nWhy don't you check with your school or community and see what's around?  Check with Special Olympics in your community and see if you and he/her can get involved together.\n\nSet an example for others by being first to spend time with him/her.

YES!! In fact in Texas pratically all the school districts that I know of (I live in Houston) in my surrounding area help people who are in your condition. Try these school districts, Houston I.S.D; Alief I.S.D; Sheldon I.S.D; Fort Bend I.S.D; Galena Park I.S.D; .......the list could go on! Best of Luck!!!

i would contact the praxis.org and see what accomodations if any are made for those w/disabilites. if there aren't any, then i would suggest finding a tutor to work with.

It depends on what kind of disability group are you starting.  Deafness?  Wheelchair users?  Blind?  ADD/ADHD?  The catchy phrase could depend on what type of disability group you are forming.

You could also ask at your local school.   Although they are children not adults, they have to deal with the same problems.   My local school has a SENCO who deals with children with disabilities.  There should be one at your local primary or senior school who may be able to give you some more pointers - after all, they must go to outside agencies for help at times!\n\nOf course, you could also try organisations set up to help people with disabilities and other problems\n\nGood luck with your assignment.\n\nOh, and if you find any of the answers useful, please do not forget to include Yahoo! in your sources!!!!   If nothing else, it shows initiative!
