Check out the new BLOOM

By Louise Kinross

This is the June issue of BLOOM.

Here are some quotes to draw you into the content:

-From the researchers of a new Pediatrics study: It’s “the first to examine exposure to disability-based discrimination in a large population of children with special health-care needs.” (See Health Equity)

-From a former client who did her occupational therapy placement here: “I’ve never viewed my disability as an obstacle because I was born with it. To me it’s normal. I don’t know anything different.” (See Student Stories)

-From a former inpatient parent whose toddler with a brainstem tumour was given one year (she just turned 23): “Nurturing hope is no small feat. Especially when we feel helpless to make things better for our loved one. Here are some of the strategies that I used frequently.” (See Parent Talk)

-From a family leader on fun, free accessible things to do in Toronto: “The Toronto Public Library offers tpl: map, a monthly free pass for library cardholders to a variety of attractions. For example, a cardholder and three guests can get free admission to the Royal Ontario Museum.”  (See Fun Stuff)
