Do you know of other children in your area that also has a dd that is similar to your childs. If you do then get with the parents of the other child and maybe have one child go to the other house a couple hour a week or mounth, and visa versa the next time. I know that this is more work for you but, if done right it may work.

When I was growing up (many eons ago) I had a friend who was also disabled and our parents made it possible for us to get together on a regular bases for years.

Well I am glad all of you out there have friends but my child does not have any....no one wants to play with her because she can't do much for herself.

Her cousins run from room to room and she can't.... she can't change a dolls clothes....

she can't read very well....



so she has no friends....

she is the only child in her school that is in a wheelchair....

I am sure somewhere on the list is someone with a child who's only outlet is talking....



I am glad all or you have wonderful lives.

I am trying to help my child find someone other than me and adults to talk with.
