This morning, my sons' Boy Scout Troop visited a day school as part of their Disabilities Awareness Merit Badge. We met many fascinating people with a variety of disabilities, ranging from mild to very severe, physical to mental. They were there to learn traditional school subjects like math and art and occupational subjects like sign language and life skills. Most of them were there to receive some sort of physical therapy. Whatever their need was, they were adding pieces to their puzzles, enhancing their travel through life. They were a colorful, enthusiastic group, so I thought that one of my pictures from their school would be great for the ETSOOI challenge.
I love what you did, and so neat that they particiapted in that activity. As our kids grew up I had them invovled in all kinds of my work so they would be exposed to the full spectrum of life
Sometimes seeing the challenges that others face really helps to put perspective on your own challenges. This was a great activity for the troop to take part in. Crazy editing- but fun!
Love the metaphor of the incredible puzzle and I think we should remember that we all have some missing pieces - and I'm not being flippant. Thanks for sharing.
This is beautiful and my first thought also was the puzzle piece which also represents autism. What program did you use to make the photo into a puzzle. Fav for me.
@linc Thanks! @triciakano I used Picasa. It's a free program. Thanks so much for the FAV! @anazad511 Thanks. One of their leaders works there, so it gave them a great opportunity to see one of these facilities and the work they do.
@lafish Yes, it is. I never even thought of that.
@kathyladley @swilde Thanks so much for the FAVs.
