I plan to launch a home based business on 1/1/2014. This will be primarily nonprofit. AN UPDATE TO THIS IS A LLC BUSINESS WITH SOME OLD FRIENDS THAT WILL BE FOR PROFIT. UNIQUE TO THIS BUSINESS; is each person has a closet advocacy issue that success of the business will help further this cause.A newsletter titled The Equalizer and a web site will be the primary anchors of the business. The brief statement below with the working title of my business in bold print state the core mission/vision or dreams for this venture: Reframing Resources – Dis = Abilities A transformational enterprise through informational dissemination; or (Giving) Knowledge = Empowerment Reframing Resources will eradicate the disease bureaucratitis (diseased and inflamed culture riddled by negative culture where click groups run their own agenda having lost touch with the people and mission they should be serving). My skill set will enable me to accomplish many things for the Special or Exceptional Needs Community with a focus on Transition to Adulthood (information for providers, family and the person), some Eldercare resources, and allow me to promote Health Literacy. Let the tax payer see a return for tax dollar investment. Instead of how it is being wasted in the current System: Including Health Background as a Pharmacist Business Experience from Work and Master of Science in Management Teaching High School Biology for a short time via alternative certification.

Current Volunteer Pharmacist Position Mary Mahoney Memorial Health Center, March to September 3 days/wk., was one day a week until Sept 2012. I have plans to return in Jan. or Feb.

Be there for them. Teach them where to go for answers. An example might be to turn to a real lawyer for advice. How do you pick one. What are proper referrals as opposed to only asvertisement.
Look up how to perform and write a Science report. WHY? This a good way to demonstrate problem solving skills, ways to approach a problem and examining the facts. This should also increase their ability to master their feelings. Instead of feeling helpless they will understand how to find a direction.
Show them love.
As a parent, working on yourself esteem can help. This is not an attack but as the mother to a special needs child, I have learned this is a waste of time. Your lack of money can be a good thing. By not having every thing handed to them, your children learn skills to navigate the world.
My husband and I disagree tremendously in this area. In my opinion, his spoiling our special needs son has made teaching self help skills that are already extremely difficult manifold worse.
