Hello,
I have a seven year old son who was born with a left hand anomaly. He has two fingers and a thumb. They were webbed together at birth and were separated at 15 months. He seems to have a difficult time in school. Other children are curious and he is kinda of tired of explaining himself. I was hoping that maybe there are social events or gathers for children with limb differences in Miami, Florida or South Florida in general. I would greatly appreciate any input. Thanks Gladys

I grew up in Fl, but live in Mn now. My son is 9, has no left arm and is in 3rd grade. I'm assuming your son attends a larger school, because my son's classmates got over him by the end of the first week of kindergarten. I did (in kindergarten) send a note to his teacher telling her that he wasn't to be bugged or stared at when he did't want the attention. In our school that is treated as bullying. At 7 these kids are old enough to learn this is inappropriate and you need to hold the teachers and recess moniters responsible. I'd start with talking to his teacher about it and if that doesn't help talk to the administration. Cathy
