Hey. I've got a kid with special needs. I spend hours every week dealing with paperwork, teachers, coaches, support groups, and the rest. I wish all the information I need was in one place, but since it isn't... well, I'll gather it here, and maybe it can be helpful for someone else who's in the same boat.
My special snowflake of a son is the Firecracker. He just turned five years old, and is in preschool at a public school in the Shoreline School District. His little sister is the Sparkler, and up until last week we thought she was, you know, normal, but it turns out she has just the slightest touch of a hemiplegia.
We live in King County, Washington. I'm not trying to be anonymous -- anybody who reads this and knows me will recognize me right away -- but I'm going to keep my kids' names off it, just to give them a soupçon of privacy.
Thinking of some other terms to help parents find this:
ADHD
ODD
hemiplegia
special ed
special needs
disability
going frikkin' insane from dealing with this
children with special needs
