UPDATE ON SITE STATUS

As many of you know, this NING Support Site was started and maintained by LuWenn Jones. LuWenn worked for a couple of years as the chairperson and coordinator for Utah’s Family to Family Network. She has recently taken a new position jointly funded by Utah’s Disability Law Center and the Utah Developmental Disabilities Council. We wish her the best in her new position! She will be greatly missed! We are very excited that she will be able to stay involved with the Networks and will continue to support families.

With her new job, the responsibility of maintaining this NING site has fallen to other staff at the Utah Parent Center. Please be patient with us as we determine the best way to maintain and utilize this site. There will probably be some changes. We welcome your feedback in this time of change! Please post a message to “AdminNing” or send a message to adminning@utahfamilytofamilynetwork.org.

Dealing with bullies at public school

Hi, everyone. I'm new to F-to-F--joined last night when I couldn't sleep thinking about the bullies picking on my 7-year-old at school.

Dallin had a stroke at birth, went through early intervention, and has made great strides. He's in 2nd grade at the local public school, but last year he began having problems with other kids picking on him at recess and making fun of his speech and some peculiar (but minor) mannerisms. Thankfully, his teacher last year was trained in special ed and really took… Continue

Inspiration from a friend

My friend of more than 10 years, Tim gave me permission to share this link to his blog. His journey through life, especially in the last five years, has truly been inspiring to me. I hope you'll take a few minutes to read it and find some inspiration in his story. Since it is autobiographical I will leave the introductions to his own words.

Feel free to drop him a note on his blog if you feel so inclined.

Don't let Obama's health plan pass!

We knew healthcare in Canada was lousy, but look what they're doing (again) with special needs.
Don't think it can't happen here, because it will if the government takes over healthcare. Go to www.thestar.com/article/668750 The same kinds of things are happening in our government today that occurred in Germany in the 1930's. If we go down this slippery slope we will be facing a government that wants to euthanize people with special needs-our children! History has taught us some frightening lesso… Continue

Back in my "Me Box"

I had a good weekend, work has been sucking but in the "I have a very hard group with a lot of crap going on way" not the "what on earth went wrong with my time management today and how did I get so far behind" kind of way. Normal sucking which was nice to get back to (does that make any sense?!?)

Anyways, I'd gotten it in my head that whatever is going on with me is nothing major and I was just going to have to learn to cope (which was fine -- I've said before, if it wasn't for the changes on… Continue

Regathering the forces

Time for me step out of my "Me Box" and look around at what's going on.

We only have 5 weeks until school starts and there is so much I haven't done yet. Not to mention the typical back to school stuff that has to be done.

I called our EAP today, we have an appointment for Mike on the 29th. I'm trying to find a nice, politically correct way to say "my family is a mess, we have a lot going on"

I wish I could figure out how to juggle everyone's everything at the same time, but as it is I strugg… Continue

A Few Tips For Using Our Site

Learning to navigate a "networking" site can take a little time, but it gets easier each time you visit! Here are a few clues to help you get the most out of your time here.

FRIENDS

1. Now that you are a member of the site, you can communicate directly with anyone you have added as a "friend." To add someone as a friend, simply click on their picture and request to be added to their friend list.

COMMENTS
2. Please feel free to make comments on any of the discussions (forums) or blog posts by other members--that's what makes the site fun and interactive! Keep in mind that "comments" are generally able to be read by everyone who has access to the page on which they are written. For instance, comments written to blog posts and discussions on the main page can be read by all members; comments written in response to something on your page can be read by all of your friends; comments written in response to discussions within a particular group can be read by all group members. If you are more comfortable making your comments not visible to everyone, there are ways of doing that, too; just follow the directions when setting up your page.

MESSAGES

3. If you want to send someone a private message that cannot be read by anyone else, go to that member's page, click on the "send message" icon on the left hand side of the page, and it is just like sending an e-mail. You can retrieve your own messages by clicking on the small envelope icon at the top of your page. It will show you how many unread messages you have each day.

SITE MODERATION

4. Membership is by approval only in order to ensure the safety and privacy of members here. You can and should, however, invite other people that you know to participate in the site. Just send them an invitation by clicking on the "invite" tab at the top of the page.

GROUPS

6. The groups are set up to allow us to communicate on specific topics and discuss issues relevant only to particular disabilities. You are welcome to join as many groups as you would like, and if you would like a group set up for a particular issue or disability, you can start is yourself, or ask the moderator to set it up for you.

QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS? Please send LuWenn a message!
