Many people without disabilities come here to read and gain information, often dealing with the recent spinal injury of a loved one, and having questions about how to interact with someone who is disabled. I ran across this site while searching for ideas to present to my son's kindergarten class about disabilities, and thought I'd share it here. :lol:

Ach! And now that you mention it, I knew that. :rolleyes:

I had spent that day researching some things, and I guess I got a little over-enthusiastic. :P

Please feel free to delete this thread. :)
