Seventy-five years of the yellow brick road, the munchkins, Toto, witches, the Scarecrow, the Tin Man, the Cowardly Lion, the Wizard, and Dorothy have not diminished the charm of this truly classic American film. The Wizard of Oz is part of our lives and the American culture. Quotations from and references to the movie surround us on a daily basis. The Wizard of Oz is the first American Fairy Tale, from the great imagination of L. Frank Baum who penned 14 Oz books. I had them all when I was a kid, and loved every word. The film was mired with problems. The studio wanted Shirley Temple to play Dorothy but Associate Producer Arthur Freed insisted the part go to Judy Garland. Buddy Ebson started out playing The Tin Man, but almost died from breathing the dust from his makeup. Directors came and went. The history of the making this movie is described in detail in a new bonus feature. Did you know W.C. Fields, Ed Wynn, and Wallace Beery were considered for the part of the Wizard? We all know him now as the character brought to life by Frank Morgan. And did you know that the filmmakers were considering using a real lion for the Cowardly Lion? And the iconic song, "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" was slated to be cut. Imagine this movie without that iconic song? It was the foundation of Judy Garland's career. So many interesting facts about this movie are disclosed in this great...

I have a thirteen year old son with Asperger's Disorder. Even though he is very smart academically, he is very naïve and comes across socially as very immature for his age. He is starting middle school next month at a new site where he will be fully included. I am terrified that he will be bullied. How can I help him not be victimized? Sean L., Sherman Oaks, CA. Dear Shawn, Bullying is when someone repeatedly and intentionally says or does mean or hurtful things to another person who has a hard time defending him/herself. The child who is bullied is picked out for some reason-it is not accidental mistreatment. Remember that bullying is not just a conflict or misunderstanding between two children, it is victimization where there is intentional, repetitive abuse within a power imbalance. The most effective way for a child/adolescent to stay safe in the face of bullying is: *Find friends and/or supporters that he can hang out with as part of a group. Children who bully often look for loners-people who don't have many friends who will step in to defend. *Taekwondo lessons or working with someone who can help with self-esteem, encourages children to stand tall, use good eye contact and signal to bullies that they have the capability to stand up for themselves. *Telling a child who is bullying to "stop it" may or may not work. Sometimes it back fires and kids may end up being harmed worse. *It is...

To handle bullying, a child should find friends, learn self-defense and self-esteem, report bullying, and avoid confronting bullies alone.

Everyone has their favorite sources of information, and often that means a favorite book. New books are continually coming out. Sometimes new ideas come along. Sometimes they really change the game. Often, they don’t. I think, and many others agree, that having as rich a knowledge base as possible–call it a data bank–pays dividends forever. The list below is a good place to start when it comes to dyslexia, ADHD and learning disabilities. They aren’t the stylish new ones, but they won’t let you down. They come well-recommended by people with dyslexia, too. Just in case you DON’T agree with this particular list–or have some favorites of your own–let us know about them. We’ll share what you tell us so others can have the benefit. Call me at (805) 962-8087. You might even feel like reviewing a title. That could be arranged as well. On every article like this one, and on every product the Store carries, there is a place for comment, and to rate what we say and offer. We are at your service.

The Trump administration's Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) is using fraud investigations to freeze Medicaid funding that pays for home and community-based services in multiple states. The mechanism works like this: CMS withholds funds from states, states can't pay providers, providers lose income or close, and families lose access to personal care attendants, day programs, and other supports that allow people with disabilities to live at home rather than in institutions. Since January 2026, CMS has withheld at least $515 million per quarter from Minnesota. Federal investigators have also opened probes in California, New York, and Maine. The initiative, called CRUSH (Comprehensive Regulations to Uncover Suspicious Healthcare), uses AI algorithms to flag HCBS spending growth as a potential fraud indicator. According to CMS, those algorithms stopped $2.1 billion in what the agency calls fraudulent payments. But policy experts and disability advocates say the growth CMS is flagging isn't fraud. It's the result of 25 years of federal policy compliance following the Supreme Court's 1999 Olmstead v. L.C. decision, which requires states to provide community-based care rather than institutionalizing people with disabilities. When a system shifts thousands of people from nursing homes to home care, spending on personal care attendants increases. That's not suspicious: it's the policy working as intended. Here's what families relying on HCBS need to know about what's happening, what rights they have, and what to do if their provider can't stay open. What CMS Is Doing and Why It Matters.

We do our best to share good, helpful information. But we can't promise that everything is perfect or right for you. We're not doctors, and we don't give medical advice. Always check with your own doctor or do your own research.

6. What We Can Promise

If we have a disagreement, we'd like to work it out with you. But if we can't, then we'll have to ask a neutral person or group (this is called an arbitrator) to help us solve it.

7. What Happens If We Disagree

Sometimes we might need to change these rules. If we do, we'll send you an email, and post on our social media accounts, if we have any. Please keep checking so you always know our latest rules.

8. Changes to These Rules

Remember, we're here to help. If you have any questions about these terms and conditions, just ask!

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.
