Happy 1 Year Blog Anniversary!

one year anniversay

 

Wow! Time really does fly. It is so hard to believe that it has been one year since I began this blog. Well officially On September 25th, but why not start the celebration early right? During the past year, I have written 102 articles which averages to about 2 a week. Not too bad huh?

I started this blog as a way of giving back to a career which has given me so much joy.. Helping people disabilities, families, professionals and organizations. Working as both a speaker and a trainer in the developmental disability field I have collected loads of information pertaining to special education, special needs, and developmental disability topics and felt the time was right to share. My other purpose in creating Special Needs Resource Blog was realizing that most blogs and social media sites were created mainly from parents and special education teachers. It truly saddens me that in the year 2015, parents are still struggling to locate services and information on their own.

My other passion and joy is learning and sharing information with others. My vision for upcoming year to continue to share resources, expand and gather additional information. In the upcoming year, I will have a page for free items including templates that can be duplicated.

In celebrating Special resources 1 year anniversary, I am raffling off a few items. All are welcome to participate.

I want someone to see that everything is going to be alright! You’ll survive this storm of emotions! Your baby isn’t the baby you dreamed of but I’m here to say your precious baby will be so much more than you could ever imagine!
