Let's support each other's businesses!

[NatalieSNM]

I came across this idea in another forum and thought it would be good idea to share it here.

I know there are many Special needs Mom?s who stay at home, but also run part time business?s from home, that non of us know about, but many of us can benefit from, and we can support each other in our endeavours.

There are so many people doing independent sales, and so many awesome new companies everywhere that we don?t know about.

So come on?.share your company here, tell us what you do and for which company?

I am in the process of building a website, called The Special needs child.com.

Here you can get information, tips and techniques for raising, loving and parenting a child with special needs. Special families need to share stories, resources, and information to inspire and motivate each other on this long journey full of ups and downs, raising a child with special needs.

Pop in, have a look around! I would love to hear from you if you have any ideas or would like to contribute to my site.

Who?s next?

bobbyla, I couldn't find your blog--can you link to it?
runt, I don't understand your point. It sounds like you started a school, which is amazing, but I don't see what that has to do with the OP's website, which is the opposite of amazing.

Hi its runt or rant here I tried to post last night apparently I cant say thanks for repsonding to my post. I mentioned democracy. I mentioned be able to help one another and support one another and that I was glad that saying soemthing conterversial got a response.

EVERY persons experience is unique and important all I wanted to say to NATALIE IS well done for trying to help.

I have literally taken the most difficult and complex SEN child risked my family my life gone up against the system and won.

I HATE writing I am dyslexic and therefore find this environment too difficult.

I am like the kids I work with conterversial.

NOTHING GETS CHANGED IF YOU AREN@T

We just want a label for our own cock-ups, hey, runt?

Someone I know pointed out your page to me on Facebook ages ago. I remember reading about you and being so inspired by what you did as our sons are very similar wrt the violence etc.

But now I just feel contempt for you and they way that you have insulted people on here in the belief that you are a better mum because you have done what you did and your son has real special needs and that other people must just be making it up.

Like the people who believe that the only real disabilities are the visible ones, you insult the realities of people's day to day lives.

Shame on you (I know that's dramatic and a horrible phrase but you really have disgusted me).

Runt, fighting for your SN child is a good thing. All credit to you.

Assuming that every other SN child needs exactly the same as yours is a bad thing. It makes life more difficult for those SN children.

The same goes for assuming that parents who do not do exactly what you do are failing their SN children, or that a child who does not have the exact support of your SN child cannot really have SN.

Would you really like to be told that if your child doesn't use a wheelchair he cannot really have SN and you are just using that label to cover up your own cockups? Because that is more or less what you are telling us.

Starting a school wouldn't take my children's chronic pain away. Spending 500 grand can't take it away either.

But telling the world that they can't have SN because they have no behavioural difficulties and no learning difficulties means that they are likely to be deprived of the support they need to give them a chance to function despite their pain.

So if you don't mind, please don't encourage other people to generalise about SN in the public domaine, where the people who decide about my children's support might go to learn what it is like to have SN.
