BLOOM has quickly become one of my favourite blogs
from parents dealing with children who have a disability. — KJ Dell’Antonia, Motherlode, The New York Times
BLOOM is the single best magazine and website about disabilities
that I have read. It always addresses practical issues, but it always
does so in the widest and deepest way, describing people and perspectives and
telling stories that stay with me with for months after I read them. BLOOM is a godsend to parents of children with
disabilities; I only wish it was more widely read, both in the medical and
helping professions, and in the wider parenting community.
— Ian Brown, author of The
Boy In The Moon: A Father’s Search For His Disabled Son
BLOOM is a beautiful magazine—it’s honest about the
challenges of its subjects, and inspirational in its description of how people
rise to the occasion of great apparent difficulties. It carries a message of honest hope, and must
give many people facing intractable difficulties the certainty that their lives
and their struggles are worthy and meaningful. It’s written with élan and
moral clarity. It’s an invaluable
addition to the literature of disability and difficulty. — Andrew
Solomon, author of Far From The Tree
Writer Louise Kinross has something
unique and personal going on here. She
has nurtured an active, loyal community and with good reason … this is blogging
at its best. — Mark W.
Schaefer, social media educator at Rutgers University, blogger and author of The
Tao of Twitter
It’s frequent that I have a child on my caseload with a
diagnosis I’ve never seen before. BLOOM
is a helpful network to try to find resources for myself and pass along to
parents. It also brings in cutting-edge technologies and therapies because of its
affiliation with Bloorview. — Liz Rudick, early
intervention physiotherapist in Oregon
BLOOM offers an international perspective so essential
to providing children with special health care needs or disabilities with a
full spectrum of resources, supports and opportunities.
— Nancy DiVenere, Parent to Parent USA
The BLOOM issues get passed
around here until they are dog-eared. I
have used several of the articles for training sessions for the assistants here
in the community. Thanks for the incredible work you are doing in transforming
our attitudes towards disability! — Jenn
Power, Community Leader, L’Arche, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia
I refer many of the folks I meet to your magazine and
I always tell them what a lifeline it is for me as a parent. The honesty and
questioning and exploration are wonderful and freeing. — Sheila Dobson,
Special-education teacher and parent, Ontario
