Blogger Bash 2017 | A Special Needs Playland

July 24, 2017 By D Marie 1 Comment

The swag is here, and I am re-living my two-day romp with Blogger Bash 2017 (@BloggerBashNYC). As a first-timer and elder blogger, I will admit hesitancy attending a conference I feared might have few meaningful take-aways. With each item I unboxed from the Toy Insider, I was reminded of how wrong I was; special needs-friendly the event and its sponsors were. This spectrum mom, Special Olympics physical therapist, and Autism Speaks Ambassador was pleased. My special highlights from each event: Babypalooza Tickle Water … [Read more...]

Three Lessons All of Us Can Learn from Temple Grandin

April 2, 2017 By D Marie 3 Comments

An Evening With Temple Grandin

I had my first telephone conversation with Dr. Temple Grandin two years ago. In exploring names for keynote speakers for a local autism event, and she was my obvious first choice. She has been lecturing to autism parents for decades, providing lessons that parents might find valuable, and this parent had heard her speak in the 1990s. Many know Temple from the HBO movie that depicts her remarkable life. To those of us personally touched by autism, she literally wrote the book; diagnosed with "infant schizophrenia" in the 1940s, today she is a … [Read more...]

LEGOLAND Florida Kicks Off Autism Awareness Month

March 29, 2017 By D Marie 1 Comment

I made my first trip to LEGOLAND Florida Resort last March, and I can't tell you how impressed I was; this clean, colorful, kid-centric haven was so much more than I expected. From its very manageable size, to its adorably-themed Lands (DUPLO Valley for small fries and LEGO NINJAGO World for those ninjas-in-training, for example), to the onsite, "5-Gazillion Star" LEGOLAND Hotel, this resort truly feels like it was "built for kids." ALL kids. Every shape, size, age, and ability. If you have followed by blog, you might know I have a deep … [Read more...]

CHOC Walk in the Park Presented by Disneyland

October 12, 2016 By D Marie 2 Comments

  In the past, I have written about my experience interning in a children's hospital, and how the CHOC Walk in the Park supports the important work that these facilities do year in and year out.  I was equally touched to learn that Walt Disney himself was on the hospital's first Board of Directors!
