Weekday Reflection: Noticing Disabilities

By , About.com GuideOctober 28, 2009

Follow me on:

Read: "Wherever I go or whatever I do, I notice people with disabilities. They're all around us. Some are distinguished by their physical characteristics, while others have unique mannerisms that might make them stand out. I don't ignore these people like I used to; instead I greet them warmly. My increased capacity to 'see' has led to many wonderful relationships." -- Brenda Kopp, from Gifts 2, this week's featured book.

Reflect: How have my attitudes about people with disabilities been changed by having a child with special needs? Am I more aware of people with disabilities in my community? Am I open to interacting with them?

Respond in the comments with your own thoughts on this quote and how it applies to your life with your child.

Every weekday, take a moment to read, reflect, and respond to a passage from a book, blog, or article. ... More Reflections
