Reviews"In my years of searching for information to prepare me for raising a child with a disability, I found little or no resources available. Most of what I did find was for professionals and not parent friendly. Nick Martin's book is an enlightening view of the true impact of having a child with a disability and how to deal with it. I needed that book!" BeLinda Henson, Coordinator, Parent Resource Center, Franklin County Public Schools, Frankfort, Kentucky , "Beautiful book! What a wonderful resource for parents--warmly, clearly, and powerfully stated. You are presenting a very comprehensive list of key issues parents face. For that alone, your book will be useful!"
