I sometimes have to scream or hibernat...Hi Louise,<br /><br />I sometimes have to scream or hibernate because of all the mixed messages and people in this world who think they are the 'boss' of someone that lives in a group home. I am not liked by some of these workers because I give people like your son too much choice, laugh with him and call him friend.<br /><br />I have seen The Sessions. It was really well done, and Helen Hunt is going to win an Oscar. As I watched I wondered if the movie was more about her than him. And the other people around him, hmmm? I appreciated the language used and that he was shown as a true human being who loved, ached and had real desires. <br /><br />I provided this service once for a couple and quickly realized after my first training session, it wasn't for me. <br /><br />Westjet is wonderful! I have flown with families many times who have used them, and they really appreciate humankind. They are nice people who choose too extend that to their customers. I know to get hired, it is a personal interview, you have to know somebody that works there already and your personality hands in to if you get a job or not.<br /><br />Kindness goes a long way, even if you don't always see it, it's contagious!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447392662850613354.post-5119629002861551832012-11-08T01:38:16.192-05:002012-11-08T01:38:16.192-05:00I guess the only comfort in the bewildering mixed ...I guess the only comfort in the bewildering mixed messages about disability is that it's much the same in the "able" world -- what to eat, what not to eat, whether computers are good or bad for the childhood brain, etc. etc.! It all makes one crazy! I did just read a wonderful piece about a program in Canada that helps typical children learn how to make friends with their disabled peers, as opposed to the other way around. I'll try to find the link if you haven't already seen it!Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03313726816776097840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447392662850613354.post-37467429046724515992012-11-07T22:24:25.281-05:002012-11-07T22:24:25.281-05:00Okay.

It's so hard to "know what to think" sometimes and I just end up going by what I feel.<br /><br />Those are also the days I tend to consume far too much chocolate and escape into the world of a good book (or really bad TV). Thanks (as always) for sharing, Louise!Anchel (@AnchelK)http://www.todaysparent.com/specialneedsnoreply@blogger.com
