As parents of children with special needs, we have experienced the satisfaction of our children and families when our emotional and health-related needs are met. What kinds of support can our staff offer? Our Regional Coordinators assist parents in finding agencies, community-based organizations, and support networks to meet their family’s and children’s needs for assistive technology services and adaptive equipment, childcare programs, assistance in the educational or legal systems, financial supports, and managing transitions in their lives. Our Parent-to- Parent Program is an avenue to provide one-to-one emotional support for parents, who care for their children and families. This Directory is meant to be used only as a starting point for your inquiry for community services and support programs when you have a question like WHERE TO TURN for help. The inclusion of a program in this Directory does not represent an endorsement by the Federation, nor does an omission represent any form of disapproval by the Federation or any of its funders. We have over 900 state agencies and nonprofit community organizations identified as starting places for assistance of one kind or another…and our Regional Coordinators are familiar with additional, local resources as well. Still, we know we have not found them all! We always appreciate learning of new programs from parents and professionals – please share your favorites with us! Our Directory is divided into 5 sections: Section 1: Resources by Topic lists programs by topic headers. Section 2: Resources A-Z contains an alphabetic listing of all community programs. Section 3: Early Intervention contains information about Early Intervention services; visit the Family TIES website for an up-to-date listing of programs and their contact information. Section 4: State Agencies contains contacts for state agencies supporting families. Section 5: En Español y Em Português lists programs for Spanish and Portuguese families. Special Words of Thanks Thanks again to John Sullivan, Gisel Pimentel, and Sonya Fort at the Federation for their skillful support. Thanks, too, to our funding agency, the Massachusetts Department of Public Health, for sponsoring this effort and printing books for dissemination. Added words of thanks to our friends at the Federation for Children with Special Needs, MDPH, and to the many parents and professionals who support our efforts. About the electronic version of the Directory: This change in format allows us to update the electronic version of our Directory. As a result, we make available a Directory Add Form on the website. Forms may be submitted by fax to the Program Directory. We anticipate making periodic updates to the online version of the book, brining more up- to-date information to you. The website’s WORD version allows visitors to print out a single page of information, for your convenience.

Family TIES, Together In Enhancing Support, is a statewide information and support network for families of children with disabilities or chronic illness. It is a project of the Federation for Children with Special Needs, with support from the Massachusetts Department of Public Health, Bureau of Family Health and Nutrition, Division for Perinatal, Early Childhood & Special Health Needs. Our staff is made up of parents of children with special needs who have personally benefited from meeting experienced parents who have paved the way for our families. We offer information and support to any family who has a child with a disability or chronic condition. What is Parent-to-Parent? Our Parent-to-Parent Program brings together parents facing similar challenges in raising their children with special needs. We believe that sharing experiences provides strength and support to each other. Seeking Support Parents may contact us in search of a listening ear—another parent who has faced some of the same issues and concerns as they now face. This may be in response to a new diagnosis, a new challenge, or just to recharge their batteries. Sharing Support One of the greatest gifts that parents gain in raising their children is experience. In offering the wisdom that comes from each challenge we face, we lighten the load of those who follow us while validating the value of the lessons we have learned. Who are Support Parents? A support parent is someone who is trained to listen, share concerns, and offer information and support, with respect for confidentiality and cultural and individual differences. How can you participate? Please contact the Parent-to-Parent Coordinator or call your Regional Coordinator if you would like to be matched with a support parent. You are welcome to participate in

  • Ebook Danielle Steel CD Collection 4: Big Girl, Family Ties Freeware
    Ebook Danielle Steel CD Collection 4: Big Girl, Family Ties Freeware Big GirlVictoria Dawson has always felt out of place in her family, especially in body-conscious L.A. Her father, Jim, is tall and slender, and her mother, Christina, is a fine-boned, dark-haired beauty. Both are self-centered, outspoken, and disappointed by their daughter’s looks. While her parents and sister can eat anything and not gain an ounce, Victoria must watch everything she eats, as well as endure her father’s belittling comments about her body and see her academic achievements go unacknowledged. Ice cream and oversized helpings of all the wrong foods give her comfort, but only briefly. The one thing she knows is that she has to get away from home, and after college in Chicago, she moves to New York City.Behind Victoria is a lifetime of hurt and neglect she has tried to forget, and even ice cream can no longer dull the pain. Ahead is a challenge and a risk: to accept herself as she is, celebrate it, and claim the victories she has fought so hard for and deserves. Big girl or not, she is terrific and discovers that herself.Family TiesAnnie Ferguson was a bright young Manhattan architect. Talented, beautiful, just starting out with her first job, new apartment and boyfriend, she had the world in the palm of her handâ€â€until a single phone call altered the course of her life forever. Overnight, she became the mother to her sister’s three orphaned children, keeping a promise she never regretted making, even if it meant putting her own life indefinitely on hold.Now, at forty-two, as independent as ever, with a satisfying career and a family that means everything to her, Annie is comfortable being single and staying that way.

  • 'A Critical Literary Analysis of the Fiction of Barbara Kingsolver'
    “The Things That Attach People”: A Critical Literary Analysis of the Fiction of Barbara Kingsolver Ceri Gorton, MA Thesis submitted to the University of Nottingham for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy JULY 2009 ABSTRACT This is the first full-length scholarly work dedicated to the fiction of Kentucky-raised feminist activist and trained biologist Barbara Kingsolver. Interrogating the political efficacy of the work of an author who proclaims that art “should be political” and that “literature should inform as well as enlighten”, this thesis explores the ways in which Kingsolver positions herself variously as an environmentalist, liberal, communitarian, feminist and agrarian. It unpacks the author’s issues-based approach to writing fiction and its effect on her commercial popularity and through close readings of her fiction provides an assessment of this popular and critically acclaimed contemporary American writer. This study maps the oeuvre of a writer who has achieved critical success in the form of Pulitzer nominations, American Booksellers Book of the Year awards, a National Medal for Arts, and commercial success in the form of bestselling novels and even non-fiction works – not to mention the populist accolade of being selected as an Oprah’s Book Club author. It analyses tropes, techniques and tensions in Kingsolver’s novels and short stories published between 1988 and 2001, namely The Bean Trees (1988), Homeland and Other Stories (1989), Animal Dreams (1990), Pigs in Heaven (1993), The Poisonwood Bible (1998), and Prodigal Summer (2001). Rather than act as an introductory survey, this assessment posits that there exists a difficult but fruitful tension between writing fiction for readers and writing to a political agenda.

    Teaching American Literature: A Journal of Theory and Practice Special Issue Spring/Summer 2008 Volume 2 Issue 2/3 Suzanne Brockmann (Anne Brock) (5 June 1960- Suzanne Brockmann, New York Times best-selling and RITA-award-winning author, pioneered and popularized military romances. Her well-researched, tightly-plotted, highly emotional, action-packed novels with their socially- and politically-pertinent messages have firmly entrenched the romance genre in the previously male-dominated world of the military thriller and expanded the reach and relevance of the romance genre far beyond its stereotypical boundaries. The Navy SEAL heroes of her Tall, Dark and Dangerous series published under the Silhouette Intimate Moments imprint and the heroes and even occasionally the heroines of her best-selling, mainstream Troubleshooter series who work for various military and counter-terrorism agencies have set the standards for military characters in the romance genre. In these two series, Brockmann combines romance, action, adventure, and mystery with frank, realistic examinations of contemporary issues such as terrorism, sexism, racial profiling, interracial relationships, divorce, rape, and homosexuality. Brockmann’s strong, emotional, and realistic heroes, her prolonged story arcs in which the heroes and heroines of future books are not only introduced but start their relationships with each other books before their own, and her innovative interactions with her readers, have made her a reader favorite. Suzanne was born in Englewood, New Jersey on 6 May, 1960 to Frederick J. Brockmann, a teacher and public education administrator, and Elise-Marie “Lee” Schriever Brockmann, an English teacher. Suzanne and her family, including one older sister, Carolee, born 28 January, 1958, lived in Pearl River, N.Y., Guilford, Conn., and Farmingdale, N.Y., following Fred Brockmann’s career as a Superintendent of Schools.
