Monday Matters: Super Power Baby Project- Changing How We View Disabilities

May 21, 2018 by L. E. Mastilock 2 Comments

“Evie is disabled, she has defects, she can’t do…. she won’t ever do……..

That felt all wrong, because to us, Evie was a miracle! She was perfect! She was beautiful and she made our lives so wonderful and we could see that she enjoyed life and could do lots of things” Rachel Callander, the Super Powered Baby Project Blog.

What is the Super Powered Baby Project?

Monday Mattes: Super Power Baby Project- not disabled, super powered!

Changing the way people view “disabled” children by changing the language used when talking about people with “defects”.

Focusing on their positive traits, the amazing things they can do or “celebrating awesomeness” through the creation of a photographic art book of 50 children from all over New Zealand with a range of chromosomal and genetic conditions – aka “super powers”. It has stunning photographs by an award winning photographer and tells the amazing stories of each child and identifies their super powers. These are the unique things they can do because of their syndrome.

What inspired them to do this?

“It began the day Evie Amore Callander was born. 30 March 2008

She was born with partial trisomy 9q and partial monosomy 6p. Before this day I had never heard of these things.Chromosomes, VSD, skeletal anomalies…. so many big scary words.
Like many of you in your own stories, those first few days learning a seemingly never ending list of big words, negative outcomes, various prognosis, trying to explain to family what was going on and trying to cope with it all- was really hard. Really really hard. Harder than you thought you were capable of coping with.
Over time we started to realize who the true Evie experts were. It was us! Her parents. We knew because Evie communicated
to us in ways we were learning together as a family.
Calling Evie’s unique chromosome abnormality and various medical anomalies Super Powers just kind of happened. For one thing,
writing or explaining to people that Evie had chromosome abnormalities and medical anomalies was a mouthful!! I never wanted to come out straight and say Evie is disabled, she has defects, she can’t do…. she won’t ever do……..

That felt all wrong, because to us, Evie was a miracle! She was perfect!” Rachel Callander on the Super Power Babies Blog

 

This book inspires hope, acceptance, compassion, awareness, and understanding.

    We don’t have a strict style and tradition. Instead we take the best flavours from other countries, add the freshest home grown produce, give it a twist, and call it modern Australian. This technique works because nearly two thirds of people who have visited Australia rank our food and wine as second in the world, and only after France.For more info visit: Leisure Options
