Babies spend nine months tucked securely inside their mother's womb. After they are born, they are comforted by things that remind them of that secure place. The Snuggle Me Cushion features a center sling. When baby is laid on top, the sides of the cushion will gently pull in to hug him. The Snuggle Me is perfect for positioning infants for therapeutic treatment, infant massage, tummy time practice and acid reflux. From Medicaleshop, Inc.

Think about the non-profits that don’t have the marketing dollars for a massive fundraising campaign. They are right in your own neighborhood providing needed services for the disability community. They provide information and referral, mentoring, day programming, respite, food pantries, special rec programs, parent training, supported employment, therapy services and more. Manyof these wonderful programs are in danger of disappearing. State budget cuts and the economy have put these organizations into a crisis situation. So please help these organizations out. It’s easy to find them. In our Find a local resource page, use our quick search for “Tax deductible donations accepted." Let your donation have a positive impact on your own community. Not in your budget to give a donation? Why not offer your expertise? Some of our members could really use your advice on all sorts of disability related topics. Just click on Find a friend and do a search for those “needing help.” Of if you need help, you can do a search of those that are “offering help.”
