Every Child Welcome: Cooking Up Special Needs Inclusion

April 30, 2015 by Jolene Philo 20 Comments

Katie Wetherbee and I first met at a special needs ministry conference around 2010. She made a beeline to my book table and introduced herself. I attended Katie’s workshop and loved what she had to say. Before the end of the conference, we exchanged email addresses. We quickly became good friends. Maybe because we had a lot in common. We were both the parents of kids with special needs. We … [Read more...]

Organized caregiving may seem like an oxymoron when life is a whirlwind of doctor's appointments, melt downs, therapies, IEP meetings, diet restrictions, and day-to-day demands of caring for a loved one of any age. But being … [Read more...]

Build Upon Strength Instead of Weakness

August 28, 2014 by Jolene Philo 1 Comment

If only I had read this book early in my teaching career. That was my thought as I turned the last page of Kristine Barnett's book, The Spark: A Mother's Story of Nurturing, Genius, and Autism. Her tale of her two-year-old son's autism diagnosis, his downhill slide into silence, and her decision to build upon strength in him rather than always remediating his weaknesses resonated with … [Read more...]
