| Description:If you are the parent of a child with a disability and sometimes have felt that you were completely unable to cope with the unique problems confronting you, let Robert Perske be your guide to an enlightened and rewarding life for you and your child. In 28 brief, optimistic chapters, he shows the many ways that parents and families can overcome their fears and inhibitions. He looks at such varied and practical topics as changing world-views, theology, human dignity, sexual development, and family systems, and explores the numerous opportunities open to persons with retardation or other disabilities. To emphasise his meaning and to encourage discussion, “Consider These Options” sections are included with most chapters. Adding still more warmth to this forward-looking book are 24 extraordinarily sensitive drawings by Martha Perske. |
