Description
Lindsay Cissell is a 12 yr. old who was born with one hand, but this doesn't stop her from doing anything other girls her age do."
n 1981, Peggy and Peter McLoughlin launched Superkids , an organization that provided a free newsletter for families of children with limb differences, as well as a Directory of families and ultimately a website. After over 20 years of dedicated work, Peggy and Peter have decided to cease publication of the newsletter, and to end their website (www.super-kids.org). After all, the inspiration behind their work on Superkids (son Luke McLoughlin) is now a high-achieving Super adult! We offer our sincerest gratitude to the McLoughlin family for helping us along our journey into the world of limb differences.
Through their small business, Claude and Cynthia Betancourt, were the force behind the technology of the super-kids website, and have decided to carry on the tradition of Superkids with this website. Those of us who began our journey prior to the advent of internet technology can truly appreciate the wonders of now having information available at the touch of a button. Back then, accessing information on limb differences required a much different approach (many phone calls, networking with doctors, etc.) and also required a bit of luck in terms of finding the resources to help make informed decisions regarding the treatment of our children.
