The Huffington Post is running this BLOOM post from last week:
My Child's Dream: To Have Friends
There is growing research showing kids with disabilities are largely friendless and that the older the kids get, the worse their isolation. The numbers are stark and I think would be cause for concern (from a health perspective) if they pertained to any other population of children.
This blog has had close to 800 pageviews at BLOOM and seems to have struck a chord with parents.
Please visit Huff Post and leave a comment if you feel inclined, or link to their story to raise awareness.
Thanks! Louise
