Publisher description
This new and expanded edition presents a compilation of material based on real-life experiences. The descriptive style in which this text is written makes it unusually informative and enjoyable to read. This resource consists of five parts. The first part addresses the grief, anger, guilt, fear, frustration, and self-pity upon the realization that something is seriously wrong with your child. Part 2 describes the search to pinpoint the exact nature of your child's disabilities. If the source of the disorder is purely physical, the treatment and management will differ from that of a child who has brain damage or dysfunction. Part 3 focuses on setting priorities. You have the right to put yourself first, make your own decisions, change your mind, ignore the advice of others, the right to make mistakes, the right to hope, live your life one day at a time, and the right to not feel responsible for your child's disability. Part 4 embraces the positive aspects of change. The knowledge that nothing stays the same forever can be comforting or upsetting. Part 5 places emphasis on the child, interaction with society, risk taking, interdependence, and productivity. This text provides professionals and parents with the opportunity to gain insights into a family that has benefitted positively and constructively from the presence of a member with a disability.
