Today is my birthday, and I’m celebrating by sharing one of my favorite early birthday presents of all with you. My very favorite early present was the birth of my daughter who entered the world on July 21, 1988. But last month, on June 24, DifferentDream.com was included on a list of the top 40 websites for special needs parents compiled by www.onlinecollegecourse.com.

Doing a Happy Birthday Dance

I do my own little happy birthday dance every time I think about being listed with special needs blogs I’ve been hero-worshipping for years. Blogs like:

• Friendship Circle of Michigan
• Love That Max
• 5 Minutes for Special Needs
• About.com: Children with Special Needs
• BLOOM
• Hopeful Parents

Here’s what was said about this website: “No matter the diagnosis, parents seek solace with one another through this blog, which overflows with personal stories as well as resources for a wide range of needs.”

What Special Needs Blogs Would You Add to the List?

Many of the websites on the list are new to me, so I’m having a jolly time learning about them. And maybe you’ll leave a comment here about your favorites in the comment box, so we can check them out, too.
