Hi!! I found this site today and thought I would introduce myself. I'm not sure if this is the right place to do so, but this is a huge site, and I get lost easily
I'm a college student in OK, and I'm mostly just looking to learn about physically disabled children. I have had my interest sparked in physical disabilities in the past year or so (not real sure where it came from). I'm going to school for architecture, and one day I want to be able to make a difference in the lives of those that have special physical needs, whether it's implementing something into existing buildings to make their lives easier, or building for someone with a disability.
It will be years before I have children of my own or adopt, but I would like to do both. For now I just want to learn.
I do have a few questions, though. (As if that wasn't long winded enough :P ) I have been reading posts, and there are several abbreviations that I haven't been able to figure out. If anyone cares to share what they stand for, it would be greatly appreciated!! ^_^
FAS/FAE (fetal alcohol syndrome??)
RAD
TPR
PT and/or OT
Also, I saw someone say that their child wore AFOs?
Last one...what does DH stand for? I know it's along the line of 'significant other' and I have seen it on other forums, but I don't have the slightest clue...
