Special Needs Collaboration Site
By Mike | April 9, 2008
Over the past few weeks I have been trying to develop an idea I have had. The idea is a social networking site/content management site for people with special needs and their families, friends etc..
This all started forming in my mind 3 years ago while I was sitting in the hospitol waiting on my daughter to recover from her heart surgury. She was 6 mos old then and we had no one other than our doctor to ask questions to. See she was born with Down Syndrome. It was a complete suprise and to be quite honest. We had no idea what that meant. We didnt know we should be insisting on a battery of tests for her. We didnt know it was OK to go to the doctor with her on a hunch (which is how we found the AV Canal Defect in her heart). If it werent for a very caring and friendly services coordinator and a friend of the family that happened to have had a daughter with Down Syndrome a year prior we would have known nothing at all. Sure, someone from the local Down Syndrome Association dropped off a packet for us to memorize the day she was born but, there were all these questions and there still are. I happen to have a 15 year old brother that has Cerebral Palsy and Autisim so this left me wondering if my daughter were similar to him or if my mother can clue me into the special needs my daughter might have. But, all told we had nowhere to go, no one to ask questions too, no idea what was in store for us. Read the rest of this entry »
