Thank you for your post. There are two things I dislike the most. 1. When Tyler says hello to someone and they ignore him. 2. When people talk to my other children and they don't acknowledge him. I promise you that he does know and he does get his feelings hurt. I LOVE when people take the time to say hi to him, give him a high-five, ask his name, or simply give him a smile. <br /><br />I'm very sorry for the loss of your niece.Jodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11074894449883719225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3626435726269756106.post-21272923235605597062010-10-06T19:05:49.051-06:002010-10-06T19:05:49.051-06:00I love your funny posts, but I love these posts mo...I love your funny posts, but I love these posts most of all.

I worked with ...I used to be a Special Ed teacher. I worked with Downs Syndrome kids for years. Just like all kids, some listen when you talk and some don't but believe me, DS kids, just like all kids love to be acknowledged, looked in the eye and talked to. She hears you even if she may not understand you on the same level you are speaking to her. Talk to her, touch her, get down on her level when you do. The most important thing is she will FEEL the love, I promise. Sorry to hear about your sister in law's still birth. A loss almost too hard to bare but, I'm sure she knows that the loss of Clara Grace, is the world's loss but, Heaven's gain.

He is non-verbal but without a doubt I know he wants to be talked to and treated exactly as everyone else. His behaviors prove that. Far too often these wonderful people are overlooked. It's a shame because I learn something new everyday from these incredible people with incredible spirits. I could not ask for a more rewarding job or a greater feeling of purpose. Thank you for sharing this, it really touched me. I would bet that Lucy understands you...if not the words you are saying she understands the love and respect you are showing her by speaking to her directly.Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01292418059506551524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3626435726269756106.post-49596373110004810292010-09-14T20:09:04.209-06:002010-09-14T20:09:04.209-06:00tears and smiles for your beautiful post and your ...tears and smiles for your beautiful post and your beautiful niece and for LucyStefanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17547900495157751102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3626435726269756106.post-77013958191814182012010-09-14T18:06:37.557-06:002010-09-14T18:06:37.557-06:00We have a Downs Syndrome boy in our cub scout den....We have a Downs Syndrome boy in our cub scout den.

These people need to be acknowledged just like everybody else! <br /><br />So sorry you lost your beautiful niece.Alyson | New England Livinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16209837924378793507noreply@blogger.com
