Hi, my name is Doxie. As a young mother, I worked as a reading tutor with

severely disabled students in California. After my four children were raised, I

adopted eight year-old , a boy with multiple disabilities.

was born with extensive brain damage including absent of the corpus

callosum, porencephalic cyst of his brain, hydrocephalus, spastic quadriplegic

cerebral palsy, a seizure disorder, and multiple visual deficits-including no

depth perception. also had an unfair start in life having experienced

trauma. Later he developed scoliosis as well. At the time of the adoption, age

8, he functioned at about 20 months old. He was still wearing diapers and he

slept tied in a crib. We were told he would probably never function much past a

2 year old level. The Doctor said theatrically it was medically impossible for

this child to move a finger; or roll over with such damage to the brain.

Although he was not considered educable, I discovered a way to teach him to

read. I went on to develop 's Circles, a reading program. As my son

entered the upper grades, an academic program quickly followed. After

graduated from high school, I developed Picture Academics for both readers and

non-readers. Called 's Circles, these programs are now successfully

being utilized in several schools. I am currently teaching adults to read.

is 29 years old now. He reads everything, writes a little, and talks

intelligible. continues to educate himself as he now has the tools to

do so.

And thank you for letting me share our story.

Thanks Sally for the welcome. I have heard of this. There are so many people

finding possibilities to help our special children. I think it's good to have a

vision for your special needs child reachable or not. How would we know unless

we took actions, and kept taking actions? If we use what's possible today; the

today creates the tomorrows.

It's people like you who never give up on these babies that are our beacons of light. Too many resolve them to never improving. Your perseverance is what all of us mothers need to press on when going through rough times. Glad you joined us. Bettina To: "mb12valtrex " <mb12valtrex > Sent: Thursday, February 2, 2012 8:29
