Take a moment to think of all the remarkable capabilities of the human body. People can run marathons, swim across great bodies of water, or manipulate their hands to write magnificent novels. In fact, most people's days are spent doing various manual activities. Yet nearly everyone takes these abilities for granted because they are automatic experiences. But just imagine if all this convenience vanished. Why? Maybe you lost a hand, a foot, or a limb because of a war, a disease, or an accident. With this deprivation comes a new way of life. Only with sheer will power and the modern technological advances in prosthetics have amputees been able live a full life. Enter this web site to journey into the tragic world of amputation and the promising hope of prosthetics.

About this site

Unlike other disabilities/handicaps, learning disabilities are invisible. Because of this, they often go undiagnosed. Undiagnosed Learning Disabled Kids are erroneously labeled lazy and unmotivated, and they suffer needlessly because they are punished for being off task, and for failing to demonstrate their obvious intelligence in their academic performance. This results in low self-esteem and depression due to their feelings of unworthiness caused by the knowledge that they are disappointing and hurting their parents. They find themselves incapable of doing anything to change that, and often end up believing that they are stupid. Feeling different at an age when they just want to fit in, they develop poor peer relations and often become academic or social dropouts. This site was created to avert such a disaster.
In this virtual tree house, LD kids can learn more about their disabilities and discover ways in which they can help themselves. This information is available in text form, streaming audio, and via mobile phone through WAP technology. Kids can also receive immediate answers to their questions by asking "Dr. Doggy" - a cute and loveable internet artificial intelligence bot, and they can interact with each other and share their feelings via the multilingual message boards and chat room. Most importantly, they can meet others like themselves, develop friendships, talk about their hopes, dreams and goals and come to the realisation that they are not alone on their path of life.

Our site describes the many methods that blind
people can use to lead productive lives. We wrote
about a school for the blind, tools the blind use
and guide dogs, as well as Braille. We wanted to
show sighted students that the blind are not so
different from them. We wanted to help people
become more sensitive to the handicapped through
a better understanding of their capabilities.
