This ‘happy’ dress is from the Emily Carr Grad Show where wonderful, delightful, creative inventions have been put on display. It’s the place where I’m inspired to be the artist I never was! Amazing how others can inspire and educate others with just following their passion.
Recently, I have been bombarded with wonderful research and talents regarding special needs. Here are a few of my favourite that might interest you too! Enjoy!

A story comes out of the States about a child with Autism who went missing without a trace. She was found! How? You may ask with special police training on how to find missing individuals with Autism. There has been research done on different triggers and locations for these individuals and fortunately enough with this missing little girl, she is no longer missing but has been found!

Powerful, Powerful, Powerful Movie!!!!! It’s a must see! This International French film was the highest grossing ever in France’s history.
The movie is a story of a quadriplegic man who hires a social outcast to care for him. It’s a touching story about humanity. If you want to laugh, cry, and feel your heart warmed in every way this is the movie for you.
Go watch it… I promise you, you won’t regret it!

I am a Teacher of the Strong.
The one who have endured the pains of needles, endless doctors’ appointments and weeks in the hospital.
The one who still smiles and says, ‘I forgive them’ after being bullied at recess for ‘being different’.
The one who can’t get through the doorway because people are too preoccupied with being somewhere else.
The one who screams and embraces himself because the world is too overstimulating for him.
The one who took years to walk as a child and has never taken that gift for granted!
The one who never could say ‘Mommy’ until he was five and his determination inspired all who heard his trembling voice.
The one who was told he was to die before the age of ten and now is celebrating his sixteenth birthday.
The one who was given cynical stares when she joined the high school dance class but truly taught others how to dance from the heart.
The one who knows the bitterness of chronic pain but daily continues to show deep empathy for others.
I know the true Strong because my vocation is to teach them.
But ironically, they teach me far more than my heart could ever hold.
For they are the Strong that are forgotten by weak.
I am a Teacher of the Strong!
I am a Teacher of Special Needs!

I saw this old play pony in a playground the other day. It was a classic little beauty but needed so much tender loving care. Seems like some children I work with need that kind of care too. They are stuck. Not going anywhere.
Well, I came across an Australian educational psychologist blog which I found inspirational and exciting. Maybe the little ponies in our lives might start to move with a little bit of inspiration from our Australian colleague.
