I thought it was an awesome way to share the story of each child. It shows each one of them as a person, an individual. Their disability does not define them. This post has been edited by Sapere Aude!: 05/04/2012, 09:37 PM

It looks like a fantastic page. I have to admit to a discomfort with the phrase their disability does not define them because in some ways I think their lives with disability is what defines them as awesome people. They are not solely their disability but they are who they are because of how the disability has been woven into their lives and has changed how it otherwise might have flowed.

I understand what you are saying Fancy and Epic, I think I just meant that they are a person too and the disability doesnt define them in the sense that they are sharing their story as an individual first not as a person with a disability. They are just like everyone else even though they have one iykwim. Ahh its so hard to articulate what I mean I hope you understand. Yeah I think you said it better than I could.
