[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a child with a physical disability.  There are many resources for kids with physical disabilities, but it's less about books and speakers and more about adapted dance classes, adapted horseback riding, and adapted swimming.  Kids need actual kid role models, not adults.  You need to learn from other parents about best schools in the community, the best physical therapists, the best camps, best colleges.

Kids don't learn from being "inspired" by Christopher Reeve.  That's way too pie in the sky.

Adaptive dance -- Music and Motion, Maryland Youth Ballet
Horse Back Riding -- many, many stables locally.  Great and Small, Circle of Hope
Swimming, Gudelsky Swim Program at Bender JCC
Keen Athletics
Adapted Basketball
Adapted Soccer
Adapted Hockey

OP here. Thank you, and that makes excellent sense. My child is still so young (18 months) and I’m just so concerned about their future...there just seem to be fewer resources/help available for kids whose disability is “solely” physical. I’ve tried reaching out in my community to various therapists, etc., but most seem just as clueless as I am about where to get help for a child like mine. My baby is so smart, sweet, playful, and all-around awesome, and I’m sooooo worried about how their physical disability will impact their life. It just plain sucks. :([/quote]
