Archive Summer 2009 I got your BLOOM e-letter. Thank you very much for your informative and beneficial message regarding the RDSP. This is encouraging, indeed. Thanks again for the great help and making us aware of the beneficial opportunities. Our happiness knows no bounds with this. Joginder Singh Sekhon, Brampton, Ont. I have just received the BLOOM Winter 2008 edition and just want to say, that despite the huge pile on my desk, I became engrossed in it! It is an amazing magazine – packed with information, insight, inspiration and understanding. Congratulations on an excellent publication. Vicky Earle, Executive Director, Grandview Children's Centre, Oshawa, Ont. I'd love to get a hard copy of BLOOM from now on. The woman who wrote about the autism t-shirts actually bought the shirts at my online shop! I too am a mom of an autistic son and her story (BLOOM Summer 2008) touched me so much. Alison Eitzmann, Ballston Lake, NY
I find BLOOM very helpful and inspirational. It would be great if you could start a forum for parents and others to discuss the articles here.
From an online reader. Winter 2008 I am a parent of a teen with Down syndrome, a writer and the lucky recipient of a copy of BLOOM. I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed reading the magazine. The writing is fantastic: you tell good stories succinctly yet warmly. And the stories are above average! Not only are the topics well thought out but covering novel, almost taboo yet extremely practical themes. Doesn't hurt that the art direction and photos are top notch. Kudos to BLOOM for putting out a great little magazine! Madeleine Greey, Toronto It’s nice to hear great stories, but when you know your son isn't even close to having a happy ending, it's very difficult to read other success stories. You feel like what am I doing wrong? How can my son also have a successful story? I would like stories of hope and education like the article When children hurt themselves June 2008. A parent who filled out the BLOOM online survey Editor’s note: We do try to address the very real challenges facing families of children with disabilities and to include children with a variety of disabilities. I read the latest BLOOM issue. I found it very powerful. The stories were very real and the comments parents made regarding coping and family made me feel like I’m not so strange and different after all. I guess many of us feel the same way. I loved it. Claudia Langill, Toronto I am the horticultural therapist at the Alberta Children’s Hospital in Calgary and was one of the coordinators for the 2008 Annual Conference for the Canadian Horticultural Therapy Association. Our members were thrilled to receive a copy of BLOOM in their registration packages. It gave many participants some great insight into caring for disabled children. Rebecca Feasby, Calgary |
