This isn't my blog, it's Zack's. Zack arrived here seven weeks early, he had no heartbeat and wasn't breathing. He suffered catastrophic damage to his brain, he has cerebral palsy, problems with his hearing, vision and feeding. Our lives are both challenging and extraordinary. He is a gift. I hope that for whatever reason you find yourself reading this blog it can go some way to help those in the same situation and some way to remove the cloak that covers parenting a child with disabilities.

Switcheroony.
This is Zack using his new switches and disco ball. Please ignore my high pitched shouts of glee, but I did get very excited at how well he did with them. Here's the educational bit....using switches helps him to understand cause and effect. (Plus it's all the more evidence to show he understands what I mean, what he has to do and what happens when he presses the button.)
Enjoy.

What a fantastic clip of the little lad! His smile just got more and more beaming with each hit of the switch - brilliant!
