This is a great article, published in the local newspaper today about innovative ideas and collaboration between the school that my daughter attends and a state university. It's super cool to see one of her classmates featured doing the same stuff Gwendolyn does, and it's great to see the recognition and interest published in the media.

We know Cathy personally and professionally, and there's one characteristic she possess that our special needs kids must have from those who serve them: shear determination. Cathy is constantly thinking about how she can help our kids improve and goes above and beyond the 'normal call of duty' as many of the teachers do at Lincoln Development Center. Way to go Cathy and kudos to my alma mater GVSU.
A blog where you'll find our feelings, failures and triumphs in parenting our three children, two with cerebral palsy. There is always news to report, feelings to share and most of all, numerous surprises.

Thought that our readers would be interested in this great post written by a father documenting his adventures in parenting a child with cerebral palsy.
It's great to see that there are other dads out there writing about their experiences, emotions and fears - and it's very well written!
