I began this blog when my son Zachary was 7

He is a precious little boy with a huge heart. They can label him with Bipolar, Executive Functioning Disorder or Sensory Processing Disorder; but for Zachary, they all say the same thing: "I am trying really hard, but life is difficult for me".

On top of the above diagnoses and social/emotional issues, he also has a genetic condition; a duplication of 22q11.1 which is linked to psychiatric and behavioral issues.

I plan on using this Blog to network Resources, follow progress and show difficulties. Politically I am charging forward to raise awareness and become a voice where it is desperately needed.

My cousin Gloria sent this quote after I was fighting with my son's DR for a better diagnosis

"Success is not measured by what you accomplish, but by the opposition you have encountered, and the courage with which you have maintained the struggle against overwhelming odds." ~Orison Swett Marden~



All information on this website I have personally used/tested/researched and can vouch for or comment on.

Service Dogs for special needs kids

After qualifying for a service dog, it was a 2 year wait. So I decided to rescue a dog and owner train her. Dakota--a Husky/ Shepherd/Akita mix came from the south. I worked closely with a lady who ran a rescue unit down there, to rescue a dog with the right temperment and nature. I have joined a few "Owner Trained" websites and have trained my own service dog for my son. You can get them certified as a Service Dog, or a Therapy Dog. I have listed links below.

We recently qualified for a grant from Easter Seals for $500 of Assistive Technology equipment for Dakota, so Zachary could access the community with her. Easter Seals Grant info http://ma.easterseals.com/site/PageServer?pagename=MADR_ATloanpressrelease
