  • Freedom and Independence with Your Wheelchairs
    Many people think that one is totally worthless when he becomes disabled. Disability always brings this notion but I strongly disagree with it. I’ve seen lots of disabled persons who have become large icons in their chosen genres. Come to think of it, some of them are even more valuable than other “more normal” creatures. The best examples are the people in wheelchairs.

    Have you seen the news about the Olympics for persons with disability? If you did, you’ll certainly be amazed by them be ...

    TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR OUR ILLNESSES

    The first step to healing is to accept that we created our
    illnesses in the first place. This can be a difficult
    concept to swallow. So many of us are invested in the
    prevailing Western scientific medical view of reality that
    we can't quite understand how we created our illnesses.

    Most illnesses are caused by viruses or bacteria. If we
    catch a cold, or get the flu, how is that our
    responsibility? Someone sneezed on us ...

    No stair lifts and 18 years of full time caring of my disabled sweetheart (she died Sept 2004) I can barely walk because of serious arm and back pain. Had I taken more time and good advise from folks around me I'd be in much better condition today for sure. Years ago when all this started I couldn't afford the various devices that were available. I wish I could've had a stair lift and medical equipment support for transporting and lift ...

  • The Use of Color to Treat Learning Problems


    I am the queen of color. Or, so I tell my students as I work with them, invariably using color as a training tool. Of course, they also think I'm a nut case, and that may well be true, but the bottom line is this: I get results with color.
    A normal child spends most of his day in school, dealing with black and white. Most of this day is spent with a black lead pencil, books printed in black and white, and worksheets and workbooks also printed in black and white. It seems their world i ...

  • Detecting Children's Learning Disabilities
    The most common learning disability is reading and language skills. Learning disabilities are not something that child will outgrow or is cured. But once recognized and focused on, the child can succeed in learning.

    Well-meaning relatives and pediatricians sometimes offer assurances that an infant or toddler or pre-schooler with a delay is a “late-bloomer” that will catch up and advise parents to “just wait.” Yes, all children develop at varying rates, but a parent often knows when their ...
