Don't mind personally. Sounds wonderful either way. It's quality not

name that matters to me

Personally,

I think special is fine – like ‘something special’. Perhaps call

the group special rather than the children??? Little Leithers special session/ group/ afternoon. I wish I

could go to it! SARA x

SPECIAL NEEDS GROUP NAME?

HOPING YOU FOLKS CAN GIVE ME A QUICK OPINION HERE!

Our church [ www.destiny-edinburgh.com ]has three mornings a week

given

over to a group called little leithers. The church is in Leith, close

to Edinburgh, and these are mum and toddler groups. We are about to

start up an afternoon group for kids with Special Needs, so as to offer

an environment with extra toys and equipment, a trained play therapist,

nursery nurses and other qualified folks [such as myself - both a

parent an an ex teacher] to help with kids while we offer pampering -

foot massages, facials etc for the mums in attendance, just to spoil

them. All free of charge, of course.

We have had various suggestions as to what to call the group, SPECIAL

LITTLE LEITHERS being one of the ideas. However, someone pointed out

that we ought not to talk of Special Needs, but rather Additional Needs.

This, for me, conjures up zimmer frames, wheelchairs and handrails

etc...these being the extra additions some might need. But I could be a

minority.

SO THE QUESTION IS.....Would you rather have your child described as

SPECIAL or having ADDITIONAL NEEDS??

[Assuming that in actual fact most of us would rather have kids without

either extra needs!!]

Your opinions would be greatly appreciated!!
