Synopsis

'Invisible' disabilities are among the most distressing of all childhood problems. The range of these is wide and overlapping symptoms can confuse even the experts. Although the nature of the handicap may not be understood at first, the symptoms which are visible are most distressing to both parent and child. And often, as parents come to terms with the family crisis, in a desperate attempt to blame somebody for what is happening, the marriage itself may be in jeopardy. This is not a medical book but instead focuses on the social and emotional impact of these disabilities on the whole family. What are these hidden disabilities? The most common are: Attention Deficit Disorder, Auditory Attention Problems, Asperger Syndrome, Autism, Dyslexia, Asthma, Depression, Allergies, Learing Difficulties and Speech and Language Problems. This book will help you find your way through the maze of conflicting advice and offers support to those parents who have a child who is not 'quite right'.
