Présentation de l'éditeur

“This book should be a great help for parents of a child with any handicap.”—Dr. Benjamin Spock
 
“I think parenting is probably the hardest job there is, if it is done well, and parenting a handicapped child takes immense dedication, energy, and self-knowledge. If even one of my suggestions makes your life easier or improves your child’s life, then the time and energy I have put into this book will be rewarded many times over. Most of the parents of handicapped children seem to me extraordinary people, and the care and love they show their children are among the highest tributes to the human spirit.”—Charlotte E. Thompson, MD
