Thanks for posting the hyperlinks. Those posts include information and advice that I hope to share with lots of parents. And while they're at it, they should definitely check out Z's seven-part series on raising a child with disabilities, "When Something's Wrong," at http://jewview.blogspot.com/.
Thanks for including my post about Wikipedia, Zman, even though I didn't submit it. I will try to keep up with this new carnival from now on though....
