Empowered Parent
Kids: Andrew, age 14
Works: Writer, co-owner, Assistive Resources, regular contributor to The Morning Blend
What I like best about being a mom: Showing Andrew the world, teaching him to dream big and watching him grow into a good human being. I still get a thrill from hearing the daily, “I love you Mom.”
Least favorite part of being a mom: Not enough time in the day to “do it all” and watching the years and childhood roll by way too fast!
Famous for: Rolling with it – Raising a child with a disability can be like a roller coaster ride – highs and lows and times when your stomach feels like it's in your chest. During those dips, if I am productive and positive, I know that soon there is another ride to the top.

One of the things that I am always on the lookout for are role models for my son - people who have gone after their hopes and dreams regardless of their disability. Our kids need inspiration and to know that others before them have succeeded with their disability.
Well, here is something for the girls. Logan Magazine- a monthly periodical for girl's with disabilities who have the same interests many young girls have - stories about other girls like them, fashion and all things trendy. My favorite part is the Tools for Living section that has the best eye lash curlers, nail polish, staplers and more for people with fine motor impairments. It is written and edited by a young woman who survived a brain injury at 16 -years -old. Here is the link to Logan Magazine: http://www.loganmagazine.com/tools.html
Now, when I find one for the boys - I will let you know!
