The Greatest Teacher’s Secret School
Sipping Lemonade, 3rd August 2015
One of the greatest teachers I know is a 6-year-old boy. (My 6-year-old boy.)
He runs a classroom full of girls (i.e. his little sisters) and he is always teaching them the most important things in life, like: the difference between a Double A and a Triple A battery, which shade of green crayon makes for the most realistic looking dinosaur and which toys of his are not meant to be touched.

I wish I knew…Oh my, we could be here a while. There is no end to what I wish I knew. To what I want to know. To what I am trying to learn and what I wish was just deposited into my tiny brain without me having to work so damn hard for it!
Lately I’ve been reflecting and noticing what I’ve learned over the last few years especially about medical and social issues relating to disability, of course most specifically to Down syndrome as a condition, and the ramifications of trisomy 21 particularly as it pertains to a variety of potential medical implications ...

A realist, it was explained to me, doesn’t think the worst will happen every time like a pessimist does. A realist takes life for what it is and accepts the whole package. A realist doesn’t invest worry and emotion into a lost cause; a realist deals with what is real.

... I heard footsteps and knew Kaylie was on her way down. But when I looked up, it was Kyle who skipped into the room. It was Kyle who opened up his own bedroom door and walked down the stairs. It was Kyle who said, “Good morning, Mom!”

I see you, mama warrior. I see your tears, even as you quickly blink them away. I see your exhaustion, even as you try to hide the yawns. I see your plodding steps, one after another to do whatever it takes for your child.
You’re wondering if you’re doing enough. You’re wondering if you should look into one more therapy or one more device or one more specialist. You’re wondering if all your pushing toward the next goal is unintentionally communicating that your child isn’t enough as he is now ...

What skills do children with disabilities need to become independent adults? There are plenty of transition planning guides and parenting tips to help answer this question. I would like to offer some ideas to consider, as an adult who was once a child with disabilities ...
