‘Let’s
be Wheelistic’
I have just been Google Alerted to a blog that is new
to me –
This blog is full of information, advice, first-hand
experiences and tips on living in a family with a child with a physical disability.
Below are a couple of quotes from the blog –
‘My daughter’s journey to independence has been a
long and often difficult process.’
There is no doubt it’s was hard work for her, but
it’s was very beneficial and she enjoyed learning with others in her
group.
‘I watched my daughter do things I had never
seen before.’
PS
It is a shame about the references to Conductive
Education being therapy. I can understand this confusion when families first
start to research conductive work online as there are many instances of the use
of the word therapy in articles about
Conductive Education. But how this confusion continues once families have
attended a conductive camp for five week is something that I have more
difficulty in understanding.
However, this is another positive report from a
summer-camp, but I see the underlying problem that often presents itself to many
families who travel huge distances in the summer-break to attend camps and wish to
follow a conductive lifestyle at home. They return home with many questions.
These questions often include —
‘What happens next?’
‘What can we do at home?’
‘Where do we turn to for help now that we are hooked?’
‘Where is there a conductive centre, or a conductor
nearer home?’
As I often say, there is always Skype, and other amazing possibilities with modern technology.
