How are you today? I hope this post finds you in good spirits.

I recently went through something in my life as a parent and wanted to share it with you. If you don’t want to read it, no problem, you can leave. If you do want to read on, I hope you find it helpful and take something away from my experience.

As a special needs parent and advocate, I am always looking at how to give a voice to special needs kids and parents. I believe there needs to be more in this area as far as research, assistance and understanding. I hope that I can make a difference for these wonderful and exceptional children and parents.

My youngest daughter is a special needs child with a main symptom of Ataxia. I recently took her to a alternative treatment called: Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy. After two months of this therapy, I am happy to say that the results have been favorable. Small changes are taking place and she is able to do things she wasn’t able to do before.

I have written a article on my experience with the Hyperbaric Treatments and would like to share it with all my readers. You can find the article at the Parenting Special Needs Magazine site at:

Google Voice, that is.

Google is now stepping into the realm of telephone and communications to compliment their already extensive arena of technology and services.

Google’s promise is that they will simplify communications for your phone. You will only have to keep up with one phone number and not have to manage multiple phone numbers. With Google Voice, you will have one number that can tie to your home, work and cell phones.

With some features such as setting custom voicemail for certain callers, re-routing the call, auto-answering depending on who is calling you and conference calling, Google is betting its voice service will win over customers.

One of the big features in this technology is the power of voice mail transcription. Now when you receive a voice mail, it will be transcribed to text and could be emailed. This text is also searchable for users that need that capability.

I find this intriguing and find myself somewhat skeptical at the same time. Just like any other technology, I will give it some time before I make my judgments. There are many other worthy items to discuss, but here is the whole story on the Google Voice launch:

Have something to say. Let me know.
