Blessed with love and care from friends and family members, and professional help from many individuals mentioned in this book, Benjy has made significant improvement since. He is now five. This book is a celebration of Benjy's significant milestone and our heartfelt appreciation to those who have walked with Benjy.

NOW a NETFLIX series entitled Special from Executive Producer JIM PARSONS starring RYAN O‘CONNELL as himself. From the beloved blogger turned voice of an online generation, an unforgettable and hilarious memoir-meets-manifesto exploring what it means to be a millennial gay man living with cerebral palsy, which VICE calls “a younger, gay version of Mary Karr's Lit.” People are obsessed with Ryan O’Connell’s blogs. With tens of thousands reading his pieces on Thought Catalog and Vice, watching his videos on YouTube, and hanging on to each and every #dark tweet, Ryan has established himself as a unique young voice who’s not afraid to dole out some real talk. He’s that candid, snarky friend you consult when you fear you’re spending too much time falling down virtual k-holes stalking your ex on Facebook or when you’ve made the all-too-common mistake of befriending a psycho while wasted at last night’s party and need to find a way to get rid of them the next morning. But Ryan didn’t always have the answers to these modern-day dilemmas. Growing up gay and disabled with cerebral palsy, he constantly felt like he was one step behind everybody else. Then the rude curveball known as your twenties happened and things got even more confusing. Ryan spent years as a Millennial cliché: he had dead-end internships; dabbled in unemployment; worked in his pajamas as a blogger; communicated mostly via text; looked for love online; spent hundreds on “necessary” items, like candles, while claiming to have no money; and even descended into aimless pill-popping. But through extensive trial and error, Ryan eventually figured out how to take his life from bleak to chic and began limping towards adulthood. Sharp and entertaining, I’m Special will educate twentysomethings (or other adolescents-at-heart) on what NOT to do if they ever want to become happy fully functioning grown-ups with a 401k and a dog.
Meet Marty, a very special seven -year old boy who is just like any other boy, except that he has Cerebral Palsy and is in a wheelchair.

Meet Marty and you will never forget how big of a heart he has and how special he really is!
Milo is fed up. He wants to play at being captain, but the other children say he's too short, he must be a deck hand. He's too small to be a lion, and not handsome enough to be the prince. But Milo's mum makes him see that the other roles can be even more fun.
This workbook is designed for a child to work through with an adult. Unlike other books, its content and layout are devised for children who read, think and process information differently.

The engaging activities in this creative resource will not only help you get to know your students better, it will help your students learn to know, understand and value one another more--which is exactly what it takes to build their self-confidence and to create a positive learning environment for everyone.
