Sandy--I think mentoring is a great idea---Like Parent to Parent & MUMS do for families..or PATH,(Parents Available To Help ) which I am part of in ct. ,We also have done sibsops & that type of thing.. On another subject..For your Mom who called about the child starting KDG. Maybe she could share a copy of this book with the class. My Face, Marcia Abbott 1998. (Moebius Syndrome) It is a chiolds book written to explain Moebius. I use kids books on disabilities, or where characters have disabilities alot with young kids to build more acceptance in general...and my kids love books like that that they can identify with the characters in...Thanks, Joy
