Shorty Awards for Most Valuable Health Content on Twitter
Twitter is a social media network for building relationships with others by
phone or computer. Here’s the catch… You only get 140 characters in which
to relay each message.
It’s PERFECT for fast communication without wading through the confusing
fluff we often get otherwise. And it’s perfect for busy parents who may not
LOVE to read.
Twitter is my favorite way to attract seekers of valuable information
on raising children with special needs.
The Shorty Awards finished yesterday for the most valuable short content on
Twitter in 26 categories.
I was first nominated for the Shorty Awards in the health category on December
16, 2008. By midnight yesterday, I had received 22 nominations and 127 votes
to win for producer of best health content.
Each voter was required to enter WHY they placed their votes with me. You can
see their comments here.

Yes, I did a little campaigning and I’ll tell you why…
I believe that raising children with special needs is one of the MOST challenging
roles parents face. The lack of REAL knowledge and REAL support out there is
staggering.
So much of what you can find for free are confusing, conflicting, and unproven
opinions rather than time-tested, kid-proven, and parent-approved strategies
based on trusted psychology.
Why did I focus on winning this award?
Because it attracts attention to the IMPORTANT and VALUABLE role of parenting,
kids with special needs or not.
It is a noble cause to raise our children to be fulfilled, independent, contributing,
and law-abiding citizens.
It’s more important than our positions, our bank balances, and our stores of
belongings. It is our legacy. And a fine one to strive for.
And that is why I am deeply honored to have secured this attention for parenting,
for families, and for our future.
Winners are invited to attend an awards ceremony in New York City. I am for one
reason only - going because I hope that there will be plenty of media attention to
the cause of bringing parenting to the forefront. Yes, I’ll admit I’m thrilled to be able
to introduce my daughter to one of my favorite cities.
