Discover FamilyFunAbilities - a family friendly and kid safe website

Subscribe to our free periodic family newsletter with articles from parents, caregivers and professionals on a variety of family topics.

We hope you enjoy your tour on the yellow bus and come back often, as we are constantly updating FamilyFunAbilities, the family friendly and kid safe website, with new family fun activities and wellness tips for family health, to enhance the quality of family life for families with special needs and disabilities.

The Internet is filled with Web sites unsuitable for children and objectionable to adults. Parents can help children to avoid these Web sites by using some of our favorite family safe Internet search tools.

FamilyFunAbilities is lovingly dedicated to my oldest daughter Monica (in the red dress). The mission of this site is to provide information and inspiration for other families with special needs and disabilities.

Monica was born with multiple birth defects from amniotic band syndrome and a neural tube defect called an occipital encephalocele.

Two days after birth, on Christmas Eve, baby Monica survived life-threatening brain surgery to remove the occipital encephalocele - our own Christmas miracle!

Despite blindness, cerebral palsy, seizures, skull deformity and mental retardation, Monica continues to learn and enjoy life. We invite you to read Monica's miraculous and inspiring story.
