Need a place to vent or rant?


coping with disability Having a safe place to vent or rant is important for everyone. But if you're coping with disability it's even more important.
Managing your disability and relationships with others who may or may not know how to provide support for disabilities can be a full time job - and a major headache.

Families with disabilities, especially children with learning disabilities, have to contend with school bureaucracy and teachers who may or may not be trained to deal with learning disabilities or other special needs. And if you're a teacher, you need support too, right? You probably have your own good reasons to rant.

Others may be dealing with disability discrimination, problems in getting disability grants or benefits from disability insurance, or other problems in dealing with 'the system'.

Or, maybe it's dealing with personal relationships that gets you down. Coping with disability and relationships with family, friends and neighbors can provide its own special type of anguish.

We want to hear your story. It's important for you as an individual to get it off your chest, rather than let it fester.

There is no need to register or even provide your name, so feel free to tell it like it is.

You'll even be able to provide your own commentary - support, advice, ideas - for each contribution as well.
