Description

• This is a site about children growing up with medical problems. Its goal is to help people understand what it's like, from the perspective of the children, to grow up and live with certain medical conditions. These stories are told by children as they have become experts at coping with problems that most of you have never heard of. They share with us how they do it, and they hope that you'll be glad you came to visit. You can visit three areas, one for younger children, one for teens, and one for adults. Many of their stories are uplifting and contain the authors' thoughts about how they fare in physical education classes. Other information at the site includes strategies of inclusion, and links for parents and teachers.
