To want to know the Something Special disabilities?

[EmmaCate]

I am interested from a science POV about what makes some children on the show the way they are, but it feels a bit voyeuristic sometimes. Especially because it's often the very disabled children that make me wonder what condition they have and why it manifests that way.

I also wonder whether the shows could help people who have just found out their DC has one of the conditions featured. Without knowing what disabilities are featured in each episode though, it wouldn't be much of a reference point.

Would be interested in views of parents with children that have a disability. I heard on Radio 5 a Mum say she liked people asking about her kids because then they understood them better, but this is always a sensitive area to have any opinion on and I don't know therefore if IABU.

We like Rastamouse a LOT in this house.

Are you thinking of "Wordy", mrsjay?

That was a schools programme called

Not appropriate after the nineties

Am with you there..I cannot see anything as being 'wrong' with my Dd

I rarely watch kids TV as dd cant see the TV. So Mr Tumble remains a mystery but I have seen something special as a friend has cbeebies on continuously.
Is he the same person as Justin at stupid question

at Rastamouse MrsDV

I am now on a mission to watch lots of Look and Read programmes.

Magic E turns shit to shite etc

Justin is Mr Tumble.

I miss Cbeebies now that mine are all grown up!

I always say to dd "is that Justin?" when Mr Tumble is on, she still hasn't caught on that they are the same person..

She obviously takes after me in the observant stakes.

Thanks Pag.
