BLOOM
“The name BLOOM conveys our belief that every child blooms in his or her own unique way.”
“At BLOOM we celebrate difference.”
BLOOM
A magazine, a blog, an e-letter and speakers series written by families who have children with disabilities as well as professionals in the field. The blog provides an international community of support.
As a parent of a child who had multiple disabilities I want to share this excellent resource because “parenting a child with a disability presents unique challenges and rewards you don’t typically read about in mainstream parenting magazines.”
I was particularly touched by a number of recent stories because they relate to my own personal experience especially in the story, The Invisible Mom. It was written by Sue Robins a personal friend, mother of a child with down syndrome and a colleague in the field of paediatric healthcare advocacy. I am also really happy to say she has recently accepted in a new position at Sunny Hill Health Centre in Vancouver that will support patients & families and promote patient & family centred care.
