Special Needs Mom's

You may think us “special moms” have it pretty rough. We have no choice. We just manage life when things get really tough. We've made it through the days we thought we'd never make it through. We've even impressed our own selves with all that we can do!

We've gained patience beyond measure, love we never dreamed of giving. We worry about the future but know this “special” life's worth living! We have bad days and hurt sometimes, but we hold our heads up high. We feel joy and pride and thankfulness more often than we cry.

For our kids, we aren't just SUPERMOMS, No, we do so much more :) We are cheerleaders, nurses, and therapists who don't walk out the door. We handle rude remarks and unkind stares, with dignity and grace. Even though the pain they bring cannot be erased.

Therapies and treatment routes are a lot for us to digest, We don't know what the future holds, but give our kids our best. None of us can be replaced, so we don't get many breaks. It wears us out, but to help our kids, we'll do whatever it takes!

We are selfless, not by choice you see. Our kids just have many needs. We're not out to change the world, but want to plant some seeds. We want our kids accepted. That really is our aim. When we look at them, we just see kids. We hope you'll do the same.

Little Leaf Learning Center’s Learning Program Changing the way you think about education for children with special needs. We embrace the whole child and will provide you and your family with endless opportunities for growth! LOCATION: Little Leaf Learning Center, 821 S. 129th Ave., OMAHA COST: 1 session per month is $10; 2 sessions per month is $20, 4 sessions per month is $40 & 8 sessions per month is $80 MORE INFORMATION: Schedule Today at 402-515-7234 or [email protected] or check out our website at www.mylittleleaf.org You can check out the learning program at www.dsfoc.org DESCRIPTION: Little Leaf’s Learning Program follows the model of the Learning Program created by the Down Syndrome Foundation of Orange County. The Learning Program was created to bridge the gap between research & practice. Although researchers continue to discover more about how people with Down Syndrome learn, their insight has been slow to filter to parents & teachers. The Learning Program is designed to supplement traditional education. Despite some wonderful teachers, traditional education too often fails children with Down Syndrome, due to lack of poor educational placement, lack of trained assistants & outdated stereotypes. Through this program, we hope to strengthen the educational potential for children with Down Syndrome, irrespective of their formal educational setting. ONE TO ONE RATIO! (5/2016)

IMPORTANT TIDBITS FOR FAMILIES Learn how to adapt toys to use with a switch/button/BigMacThis workshop is for ANYONE!! You will learn how to easily & cost effectively turn the toys that your child already has, & isn't using because of physical limitations, into toys that are adapted to your child!! You will learn how to install a jack into a single function toy & convert it into a toy that is operated with a switch. You will learn how to assemble a switch. You will make a detachable cord that runs from the toy to the switch. You will be able to do this, AND you will go home with a working switch toy & switch. Best of all, your child's toy will look professionally adapted, by YOU!! You have seen that the switch operated toys are sometimes 8x as much to order, than if you could buy the toy & put the switch in for a few dollars, yourself. Dates/Times will be determined when I have 4 or more people interested in the class. This class is FREE, however donations of any kind are appreciated. Contact Aaron today at [email protected] for more information!

A & D Waiver – Aged & Disabled Waiver

Is YOUR child on this? Is YOUR child eligible to be on this?If your child is on this waiver, do you know that it makes your income guidelines non-existent? No cap on your income. Just have to use the 2 hours minimum respite each and every month, so you don't lose your A&D Coverage. Do you know that you can add your child, to your private

health insurance (non-medicaid), and if you are on the A&D Waiver, you can get those

premiums paid for for BOTH you and your child, through the HIPP program? Has to be the

same family policy, but they will cover all the insurance premiums for your entire family!!

For us this was $1,200 in premiums, because we are self-employed, don't have a corporate medical plan, and it was killing us. By talking with another mom, I found out about this program, and we are waiting on our reimbursement to arrive!! So cool. For 5 years we were told that our income dictated the medicaid that our son received, for us that meant we had to either stay in this little income box of like $45,000 or make an additional $100,000 to cover the expenses in therapy and medical services that our sons receives on an annual basis minimum. The guidelines to be on the A&D Waiver, I do not know for sure what they are. If you want to know, I can find out, just email me. I know that my son qualifies, and if has something to do with being fed solely by g-button, and being non-independent. If you want the contact information for the HIPP program, just shoot me an email on that also, or ask your Service Coordinator specifically about it. There are many programs out there available to help families like ours out. We just need to get the word out there for families to access that information. If you know of a program, that would benefit families, email me.

[email protected] We will research it and get the correct information out to all

the families.*

Parent Group with kids with combined hearing & vision lossThe Nebraska Technical Assistance Project on Deaf-Blindness has conducted training this year specific to parents of children who have a combined hearing & vision loss.

A total of 7 parents have participated in a series of training activities from May 2011 through October 2011. They are now working on their leadership goals & have another planned meeting in April 2012, as well as ongoing meetings in the future. They are called the Nebraska DB Parent Leadership Team, & have provided lots of support to the state deaf-blind project. It is the intent of this team to provide one-on-one interaction either via phones, technoloty or face to-face with other parents in the state who have a child birth to age 21 with a combined hearing & vision loss.

Motion/Limited Mobility; Decreased Sensory Processing/Increased Sensitivity; Decreased Attention; Motor Planning Issues/Decreased Body Awareness; Difficulties with Oral Motor Skills BENEFITS of Aquatic
