Welcome!

My hope is that there will be some resources here for families with special needs. Instead of reinventing the wheel, I have included resources that point to other resources. The posts here are simply reporting some of the things we have tried to make our daughter's experience more comfortable and productive. Please add any experience you have to help us and others help our children.

Diapers

We have found that changing diapers when we are out and about can be challenging with a 52 inch tall child. She doesn't exactly fit on a changing table in a public restroom. One advantage to having a wheelchair that reclines is it can give you a good place to change diapers. My wife figured out that it also helps if we double up Macayla's diapers. That way when we are out, if she has a wet or dirty diaper, we simply take off the inner (dirty) diaper and simply pull the outer (clean) diaper up in its place. It saves on having to completely remove the pants and shoes. Not to mention that having two diapers on has saved us from major blowouts several times.
