Looking for opportunities to develop social, communication, and adaptive behavior skills? Here we have KIDS CONNECT. KIDS CONNECT is a program that provides specialized services at licensed childcare centers that can help children with special needs participate,
play and learn, along with their typically-developing peers. Licensed childcare centers and after-school care programs contract with the State to provide this service.

Eligible children are those who:
1 - Medicaid eligilbe
2 - age 6 weeks to 16 years (birthday)
3 - have a potentially chronic condition in the areas of cognitive, developmental, medical, psychiatric
4 - symptoms consisten with DSM-IV or ICD-9 diagnosis
5 - are not entitled to services through Special Education, Early Intervention or Head Start
6 - needs therapeutic services to participate in a care setting and are expected to succeed
7 - do not need 1 to 1 support
8 - can improve in communication, socialization, behavioral & cognitive development
9 - has been previously dismissed from or unable to participate in a child/youth care setting.

There is no cost to families in our area. If your child is in a child or youth care program, you can ask if there is a similar program to take advantage of, or contact a local social service agency.

4 Signs of Caregiving Stress Overload

ElderCarelink email posts 4 signs that should not be overlooked by you, the caregiver, or a close family member or friend. They report that even though the immediate caregiver may not be helping in direct care, the mind is never far from the needs of the older person, thinking about meals, falling, medications. Take the opinion of a family member or friend if they are telling you that you are stressed. Four signs: you skip your own physicals; you isolate yourself from others; you eat and/or drink too much for good health; you are short tempered with the elder, your spouse or your children. If any or all of these sound familiar, take a break no matter how short in order to recharge. For more information on caregiver stress see ElderCarelink

A Caregiver's Poem

I was looking through a 'Caregiver's Blog: Senior Care Support' and came across a poem that was shared by a writer, Dana, from the blog. The poem was written by Becky Netherland and Dana's grandmother shared it with her. I thought it was great and there is not much to say about it - just read!!! Enjoy!!

Grandma’s Pearls of Wisdom:
(picture from Caregivers Blog)

I’ve traveled paths you’ve yet to walk
Learned lessons old and new
And now this wisdom of my life
I’m blessed to share with you
Let kindness spread like sunshine
Embrace those who are sad
Respect their dignity, give them joy
And leave them feeling glad
Forgive those who might hurt you
And though you have your pride
Listen closely to their viewpoint
Try to see the other side
Walk softly when you’re angry
Try not to take offense
Invoke your sense of humor
Laughter’s power is immense!
Express what you are feeling
Your beliefs you should uphold
Don’t shy away from what is right
Be courageous and be bold
Keep hope right in your pocket
It will guide you day by day
Take it out when it is needed
When it’s near, you’ll find a way
Remember friends and family
Of which you are a precious part
Love deeply and love truly
Give freely from your heart
The world is far from perfect
There’s conflict and there’s strife
But you still can make a difference
By how you live your life
And so I’m very blessed to know
The wonders you will do
Because you are my granddaughter
And I believe in you.
