Actners. m 1122. 29 OPINION What d~ it take to raise an 8-year-old? n important part of the mission of this newspaper is to take residents of Allston-Brighton past gates and through door Aways, to find out what goes on inside the institutions that mark the local landscape. This week, we invite readers to come with us into the Kennedy School at the Franciscan Children's Hospital, which is situated along Warren Street near Brighton Center, across from the high school. TAB photographer Wmslow Martin set out to document the nature of the care that is required by a child with serious dis. abilities and came back with a photo essay that explores the life of Dejan Sivic, an 8-year-old boy with cerebral palsy. Together with reporter Melissa DaPonte, Martin illuminates both a family of extraordinary resilience and a school that brings great empathy and skill to the difficult and impo• work of edu cating a child who cannot speak or move without help. Our goal is to remove the wall a handicap can build between those of us who are able.-bodied and those of us who are disabled Dejan needs a team of adults willing to invest time and attention to the task of helping him grow up - just like any 8-year--0ld.

A But when she spoke to a group of young basketball players at the West End House Boys & Girls Club last week, a gid who was sitting at her feet asked Dixon if she had ever been scared of another player. "Not at all," Dixon replied. "Never, ever, let yourself be inti mi dated." Dixon, who was raised in Mattapan and was a member of the Old Dominion University women's basketball team that won the national championship, says that confidence and control were key attributes in her successful basketball career. These are the same skills that she is 11ow ttying to cul tivate in younger players as she travels to schools and com munity centers to talk about perseverance and responsibility. ·U.S. Olympic basketball player Medina Dixon gives some dribbling pointers to girts at the West F.nd House Boys &Girts Oub. <.
