I am not quitting on getting this group to make it. Monticello and the rest of Southeast Arkansas need this group. Parents need the common bond with other parents to talk about their concerns and needs. Our community needs to wake up and realize that these special needs children are children. They are no different than the others. So what, one may be in a wheelchair or have a problem speaking. There is one common trait that all children have…..SMILES AND LAUGHTER. This is the common language of all children.
With KT and Rosjuane’s help, we are starting a massive project of spreading the word. We have a site on mySpace, Facebook, and my wordpress account. We are going to get the word out one way or the other. Someone somewhere is going to benefit from us taking a stand to become advocates for these children and parents.
KT, Rosjuane, and I can’t do this alone. We need your help. We need you to spread the word. Everyone knows a parent that could benefit from this group. Please realize that special needs children are not only those that seem mentally handicapped or physically handicapped. Did you know the children with ADD, ADHD, bipolar, or gifted and talented are special needs children? They don’t look like it but they are. They are actually more misunderstood than those children who obviously have problems.
Right now our sites are in the process of getting started. MySpace and Facebook sites are ready. Please feel free to browse and tell others about our site.
