Reviews

I have never read a book about a disabled person that caught me from page one. I could not put this one down. Annie Lehmann offers a profound perspective on living with the reality of a severely disabled child. This book will be required reading for students who take my class in Special Education Administration. - Frances LaPlante-Sosnowsky, Associate Professor of Education at Wayne State University ""From the perspective of a wife and mother, I found the book to be an emotional awakening.... From the perspective of an educator, we are reminded over and over of the team process."" - Sherryl A. McLaughlin, Director of the Autism Endorsement Program at Oakland University
