Who we are
Parenting
a child with a disability presents unique challenges and rewards you don’t
typically read about in mainstream parenting magazines.
Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Hospital created
BLOOM (magazine, blog, e-letter and speaker series) to bring together the
wisdom of families—reflected in firsthand columns such as Parent Talk, Role
Model and Trailblazer—and professionals in childhood disability treatment, research,
real-world programs and education.
The
name BLOOM conveys our belief that every child blooms in his or her own unique
way.
At
BLOOM we celebrate difference.
Our
blog unites parents of children with disabilities and clinicians in 162
countries in an international community of support.
BLOOM
magazine is published twice each year and covers topics and resources that
interest parents of children with a wide variety of physical and developmental
disabilities.
BLOOM
magazine is mailed to parents of Ontario children who have visited Holland
Bloorview in the past six months as well as professional, disability, academic,
government and community partners.
We
also have a monthly e-letter and onsite speaker series.
BLOOM relies on an editorial committee of parents and professionals to brainstorm story ideas, network with families and disability organizations and generate feedback.
