I found this magazine to be a good source of information. Finding equipment, information and reliable support is an ongoing stressful cycle for any parent/caretaker trying to provide the most advantageous, life enriching environment for a youngster with limitations one could possibly imagine. The parent/caretaker and those in the community that pour their hearts into making the world as accessible as possible for these youngsters do it, not for the recognition or accolades that might come their way, but the inner joy and satisfaction they feel when any of these children's faces light up with the pure joy of life and pleasure one can only see through a child's eyes. Hanging on to the capability to see beauty with such purity is not easy in today's world.
Speaking for myself, one has to really make an effort to hang onto, and reach out, to find those special moments in the world, but the inner joy one can experience is more precious and beautiful than any other. It is one of the few things left that can not be bought at any price. I hope these special links help someone hold onto that ability. For those individuals who have never experienced this kind of pure joy, spiritually cleanings, uplifting emotion, there are no words in any language I know of that might open their minds and hearts to make the effort to open those avenues of thought for them. The effort is a special gift one has to make a commitment to give themselves.
