Guest guest Posted April 11, 2006 Report Posted April 11, 2006 Ok, I have 3 kids with Down Syndrome. My biggest issue I deal with MORE AND MORE daily hour to hour anymore is there safety! My oldest is 12yr and not allowed to drink liquids due to aspiration issues... but hard for her to really understand WHY after 11yrs of drinking she NO longer can drink. he sounds horrible(aspirated of course). Well I have a doorway into my kitchen to dinning room about 44 inches wide... We have tried baby gates... she too smart either removes it or climbs over it. I even tried blocking the door with highchair and chairs.. give me a 'hearing warning' but I don't 'hear' well,I am 70% deaf and wear hearing aids myself. So I need grant and ideas how to 'fix' this issue. Then my 7yr, runs out the door.. bangs head on the walls... he room is stripped.. cuz now he wants to throw the DVD around the room.. I am tears the money I spend out for my kids... that don't get it! Again.. any grants in GA to help redo his room for his safety. So far the 3 yr.. calm.. cool.. cute... loveing every min of that!!!
