Quick Tips

to help you get through the day easier

If you're like our special needs family, you've probably collected a whole bunch of quick tips - ideas, tools and rituals to help make your day go more smoothly in coping with disability.

Wouldn't it be nice if you didn't have to figure it all out on your own though? After all, lots of others have gone before, so it would be great to learn from others who have had similar situations occur, and figured out a way to deal with it.

At the bottom of this page you'll see summaries and links to quick tips from visitors, and from our family.

But, do please let us know what you've learned as well! Let us know what works for you - we can all learn from each other.

Do you have a quick tip to share?

Getting through the day usually means coming up with all sorts of little changes or special tools to make the day go more smoothly. Any little thing that will save time and energy, or just make the little things possible, are all worth doing.

Do you have quick tips you'd like to share with other families, teachers or other professionals that support people with disabilities?

Here is your chance to pass it on....
