Vampire Like Me

Halloween Site of the Day Special: The Parenting Special Needs Site of the Day has been taken over by goblins and, throughout the month of October, will feature a daily site offering Halloween help and happiness to kids and families with special needs. If you spend a lot of time working out accommodations for your child, whether it's getting the proper educational set-up or just making a Halloween get-together bearable, you'll get a smile out of disabled comedian Lisa Egan's run-down of disability issues for vampires on the BBC's Ouch! site. After all, the bloodsuckers also need a special diet, environmental accommodations, social understanding, and willingness of others to make adjustments to their special needs. Other spooky spots on Ouch!: An examination of whether ghost stories may really just be stories of misunderstood people with disabilities, and a horror movie quiz called "Night of the Living Crips."
