Description
This book offers a candid and uplifting companion for parents navigating their child's disability. Drawing on dozens of interviews with parents and professionals, it shares stories, advice, and practical strategies to help parents cope with the challenges of caring for a child with a disability.
Written from the author's own experience of being thrust into the special-needs world, the book tackles the unspoken obsessions that can come with this new reality, such as the impact on relationships, work, and overall wellbeing. It provides reassuring insight into a largely invisible world, addressing the complex and often overwhelming nature of disability.
