The Most Encouraging Book for People with Disabilities

I am a teacher of students with learning disabilities at a secondary school. This is the best book I have found that shows that people with disablities can excel, without downplaying their struggles. I use this book while teaching a self-advocacy unit. My students identify with the struggles and accomplishments that are outlined in this book. It is well worth the hardback price.

Insightful collection of writings that hit-the-spot .

As the mother of a disabled child, I found my voice on each page of this wonderful book. Rarely do I run to find a copy to purchase, but this one is a must buy. I will read it again and again to reinforce I am not alone in my struggling, my child is not alone in his world, and there is hope at the end of our rainbow. ANYONE dealing with a "special" child (or themselves), should read this book. It's comforting, supportive, and affirming. I plan to share pages of it with his teachers, doctors, and someday when he's ready, with him. The mix of voices put to pen is varied and catches the sense of the spirit of this matter from every side. Bravo!!
