A new educational book series designed to raise awareness for special-needs kids was announced this week. The “Kids With Special Needs” series is written from the perspective of fictional disabled children, allowing young readers to better sympathize with their peers who look or seem different from themselves. The books are mostly fictional, with sections of nonfiction information discussing causes and treatments regarding many of the ailments covered in each book. The term “special needs” is used to categorize more than 4.5 million children in the United States who suffer from disabilities varying from autism, to hyperactivity disorder, to learning disabilities and much more.
The publishing company behind “Kids With Special Needs” explained that children often have a lot of questions regarding their special needs friends and classmates because disability is often an uncomfortable subject to discuss with kids due to it’s complex nature. The good news is that, due to advances in medicine and technology, more children with disabilities and chronic illnesses are living longer and more functional lives. Because of this, school children are being exposed more to special needs kids in the classroom, extra-curricular activities and in their community.

Business journals often encourage persons who own a business to consider their options when purchasing long-term and short-term disability coverage for their employees. While short term coverage often allows individuals to have financial assistance while they recover from their injuries, long term coverage will protect individuals who expect to miss work for a serious length of time, or for individuals who may not ever return to work. Employers must seriously weigh the types of coverage available and consider what type of protection they would like to obtain.
