Notting Hill, a modern-day fairy tale, is now available in high definition. Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant star in this story of a mild-mannered bookstore owner and an actress who happens to be the most famous woman in the world. One day William Thacker (Grant) accidentally meets Anna Scott (Roberts), a famous actress from America who is in London filming a movie. Thacker is not a suave man by any stretch of the imagination and bumbles his way through their meeting. A deep friendship then grows between the "commoner" and "the princess", so to speak. As their relationship deepens and they fall in love, cracks begin to show as the differences in their individual lifestyles surface. Anna is introduced to William's friends and feels at home, yet when he is in her environment, he feels like a fish out of water. After all, she can have any man in the world and he is only a simple bookstore owner. How can he compete with her Hollywood relationships? In the end, after Thacker decides her fame is too much for him to live with, she confronts him in a memorable scene in which she claims she is "just a girl, standing in front of a boy, asking him to love her." When it comes down to it, they are just that. They are people who love each other and if they want to be together they must find a way to reconcile their two lifestyles. As stated in...

The 1987 movie Planes, Trains and Automobiles captured the attention of moviegoers everywhere. Disney is going about this theme a little differently, creating films for each mode of transportation. In 2006 they released the popular film Cars, followed by Cars 2 in 2011. And Disney's California Adventure Theme Park added a Cars Land in 2012. Now Disney Studios is gearing up — no pun intended — for their new release later this year — Planes. The voice talent of Planes was recently announced. Those adding their voices to the newest animated film Disney hopes will be as well received as their others are: Stacy Keach, Brad Garrett, Teri Hatcher, Cedric the Entertainer, Julia Louise-Dreyfus, John Cleese, Roger Craig Smith, Val Kilmer, Anthony Edwards, Sinbad, and more. There has not been any mention of a "Trains" story in their future, but with the release of Planes in 2013, the studio is two-thirds of the way to a Planes, Trains and Automobiles — aka Cars — set of animated movies. The premise of Disney's Planes 3D animated comedy adventure is akin to "The little engine that could." A little airplane dreams of competing as a high-flying air racer, but he's afraid of heights. With the help of others, little Dusty musters up the courage to fulfill his dream. Disney's Planes is set to open August 9, 2013.

Disney's 'Planes', a film about an airplane overcoming fear of heights, will release on August 9, 2013.

Stalkers is a movie about two women who make stalking a priority in their jobs. Julia Winston (Jodi Lyn O'Keefe) is an ambitious A.D.A. who is up against the old boys' network. She sees the danger in stalkers yet cannot get funding for a special task force to work on the problem.

What a treat for this correspondent to be part of today's press conference. April 16th 2015 marks "100 Days" until the Special Olympics World Games kicks off this July. As everyone gathered to hear from former Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, President of LA2015 Patrick Mc Clenahan, and Olympian Julie Foudy, the energy was absolutely electric at the LA84 facility. The global messengers were excited to present the press and the world with the new medals for this year's 2015 games. There will be 7,000 athletes from 177 countries participating in this global event. Hearing cheers from the crowd as ambassador to this years games, Dustin Plunkett, introduced the former Mayor. Villaraigosa gave an inspiring speech asking that everyone participate by attending or volunteering, and he also asked the corporate Los Angeles to donate funds to the cause. He called Los Angeles, "The City of America's hope and promise" and expects that the games will be successful. It was fun to see a personal favorite of mine, Greg Louganis, winner of the gold in '84 & '88. In 1984 Greg received the James E. Sullivan Award from the Amateur Athletic Union as the most outstanding amateur athlete in the United States. His presence was that of inspiration and strength. Julie Foudy, Olympic Gold Medal in soccer, gathered a group of the female Global Messengers for a fun photo opportunity. It was so sweet to see how happy they all were with her at the center,...

Facing our fears and following our dreams are the messages in this Hallmark Channel Original movie. When Calls the Heart is the story of Elizabeth Thatcher (Poppy Drayton), a young woman in her early 20s, living a rather elaborate lifestyle with her parents and sisters. The year is 1910 and they are well off, financially. Their house is staffed with servants and the Thatcher girls are lacking nothing. When Elizabeth gets her teaching degree, she is offered a post in a small western frontier town. Elizabeth is fearful. She has a lot of inner fears and isn't sure she can survive in the rough and tumble world of the frontier. Her mother is against her daughter going out west, and her sister Julie (Daisy Head) does everything in her power, including trickery, to make her stay home. The two girls discover their Aunt Elizabeth's (Maggie Grace) diary and finally learn about their aunt – and the woman for whom Elizabeth was named – who has been absent all of their lives. As Elizabeth reads the diary, Aunt Elizabeth's life is played out and Elizabeth learns she and her aunt are two of a kind. They are both teachers and both posted in small frontier towns. And, they both have Royal Canadian Mounties as friends/beaus. This film is the story of two Elizabeth Thatchers.

Shopping for the perfect gift can be a challenge, but finding a gift for a child with special needs doesn't have to be. According to Julie Brinkhoff, assistant director of the Great Plains ADA Center at the University of Missouri School of Health Professions, children with disabilities enjoy the same type of toys, action figures and games as other children, but it is important to match children's interests as well as their skills and abilities. The Great Plains ADA Center is part of the University of Missouri School of Health Professions. "What could be more frustrating than getting a toy as a child and not being able to actually play with it?" Brinkhoff said. "It's important to know the ability or developmental levels of the children in addition to their interests. There are a lot of options, but you need to know where to start." For example, a toy that makes a lot of noise may not be enjoyable for a deaf child, while a toy that flashes lights might provide a better alternative. Brinkhoff also suggests toys with larger controls or pull strings that are easier to manipulate for children with poor motor skills, so they are able to enjoy the experience. "It's also a good idea to ask the parents about their child," Brinkoff said. "Sometimes therapists will suggest to parents certain types of toys that allow children to work on developing specific skills. For example, a young child working on gross motor skills might benefit from...

Gifts for kids with disabilities should match their interests and abilities, with sensory-appropriate options available.

As a young child, Ann LeZotte was diagnosed as autistic because she banged her head. Eventually it was discovered that her head-banging was merely a response to the fact that she could not hear. Born prematurely and deaf, Ann also has trouble with lung function.  Starting off life like that seemed like a raw deal; however, Ann's deck of cards was stacked with having dedicated, smart parents. She was sent to the best of schools. She was "mainstreamed"into regular classrooms. Her father inspired her with the story of Helen Keller. She spent many hours contemplating the paintings known as Christiana's world by American painter, Andrew Wyeth. She came to know that being born deaf was not a tragedy; it made her special. It added to her other gifts. It gave her a certain élan, a steady dignity and a sense of self that many others lacked. In her early years, Ann's knife-sharp intelligence was her road-map to negotiate the ups-and-downs of loneliness, bullying and academic pressure. Being the only deaf student in a classroom of other bright kids took some quick-stepping. One year she went from being the "outcast" to being "the number one magic girl" by teaching her growing number of friends to finger-spell under their desks, thereby confounding the teacher and everyone else by their seemingly secret language. Talk about the art of texting! Ann was onto something before smart phones were even a twinkle in Steve Job's eye.    Today, Ann is forty-one years...

Deaf and bright, Ann LeZotte overcame challenges and became an author, inspiring others with and without disabilities.

At SpecialNeeds.com, we strive to foster a community of trust and reliability. One significant way we ensure this trust is through our Verified Badge. You may have spotted this little checkmark symbol on our platform. But do you know what it signifies? Allow us to pull back the curtain on this important aspect of our platform. The Verified Badge isn't merely decorative - it's a symbol of authenticity, accuracy, and connection. When you see this badge associated with a company, you can rest assured that the company has been thoroughly vetted and is confirmed to be genuine. But how do we ascertain this genuineness? The process is both rigorous and meticulous. To earn the Verified Badge, a company representative or a SpecialNeeds.com staff member must first register with us and provide evidence of their affiliation with the company. This is typically in the form of a business email address. However, the badge doesn't just signify affiliation. It's also a testament to accuracy. The representative or our staff member is responsible for verifying all information associated with the company - from contact details to rates and features. Only when every piece of information has been scrutinized and confirmed do we award the coveted Verified Badge. Maintaining the Verified Badge isn't a one-time effort - it requires an annual renewal. Each year, company representatives are required to reaffirm their details and reverify their information. This ensures that the data associated with Verified Badge holders remains up-to-date and accurate. If the information isn't refreshed yearly, the Verified Badge status lapses. This renewal requirement serves as an ongoing commitment to accuracy, reinforcing our dedication to providing reliable, current information for our community. But why is this badge important? Why should you, as a user of our platform, trust it? The answer is simple. The Verified Badge is your compass on SpecialNeeds.com, guiding you with the assurance of truth and reliability. This badge is our commitment to you. It's our guarantee that the information you're viewing has been checked for accuracy and confirmed for authenticity. Whenever you see this badge, you know you're looking at a company that has been meticulously verified. That's our promise to you. So, as you explore the vibrant world of special needs-related businesses on SpecialNeeds.com, remember to look out for our Verified Badge. It's more than a symbol - it's the mark of trust you can rely on.
