Raising
Special Kids is Changing to My Special Kids
Raising Special Kids site is coming down soon - by the end of the
month, but don't worry, I am putting together a brand new site from
Raising Special Kids - and because that brand is already in use by www.raisingspecialkids.org,
I am
changing my site to www.my-special-kids.com.
I will have the index page up and will rewrite and post the pages as I
go along, updating and adding new information and experiences. Stay
tuned
Finding
Physical Disability Information
To Help Your
Child
Finding good, practical information on a physical
disability can be
difficult, because so much depends on the child’s specific
disorder.
Here is a place to start your search to find something you can actually
use to help your child with disabilities.
It is also very
difficult to find a consistent definition
because that not only depends on who you are asking, but the reason you
are asking in the first place. Confused? That is a very accurate
explanation of the information available out there on disabilities.
A
physical disability is usually defined as a condition that
substantially limits one or more basic physical activities, such as
walking, climbing stairs, reaching, lifting, or carrying.
Physical
impairment refers to a broad range of disabilities which include
orthopedic, neuromuscular, cardiovascular and pulmonary disorders.
People with these disabilities often must rely upon assertive devices
such as wheelchairs, crutches, canes, and artificial limbs to obtain
mobility. The disability may either be congenital or a result
of injury, muscular dystrophy, multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy,
amputation, heart disease, pulmonary disease or more. Some persons may
have hidden (nonvisible) disabilities which include pulmonary disease,
respiratory disorders, epilepsy and other limiting conditions.
