I taught severely and multiply handicapped kids for several years and also worked with adults with multiple and/or severe disabilities. Then I adopted my daughter who is blind and has severe developmental disabilities and she pretty much became my fulltime job. Now we combine Social Security income with some pay I get for some of the care I do for my daughter. -- Cheryl May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to You, Lord, my rock and my Redeemer.
