More Description

Parents of Children with Disabilities: A Survival Guide for Fathers & Mothers is one of Liberty University Press’ best-selling books. This book from an experienced father and mother who have “been there, done that” is straight shooting, parent-to-parent, and is punctuated with carefully crafted, hard-hitting “stories” to increase interest. There are over 30 illustrations/cartoons to help the visual learner and to support key points. The length of the book is relatively short so that busy parents (especially fathers) will be more likely to read the book. Each chapter has a specific theme and each chapter ends with three or four “take-a-ways.” Three chapters are actual life stories by families that have learned and grown from the experience of having a child with significant disabilities. The first story is about a family with a daughter who experienced trauma at birth that left her severely impaired; the second story is about a family with an son who has autism; and the third story is about a family whose 14-year old son almost died from a brain aneurism at age 12 and currently is struggling with both physical and learning disabilities.
