YOU WILL DREAM NEW DREAMS: Inspiring Personal Stories by Parents of Children With Disabilities - Softcover

Stanley D. Klein, Ph.D. (Gloucester, MA) is a clinical psychologist with 50 years of experience working with children with disabilities. He is education director for Abilities Expo and a cofounder and former Editor in Chief of "Exceptional Parent "magazine.

John Kemp (Washington, DC) is an attorney who was born without arms and legs, and is a leading advocate for people with disabilities. He is also a former national executive director of the United Cerebral Palsy Association.

Knowing that "parents' strongest allies will always be other parents," Klein and Schive have collected from all over the country stories by parents of children with special needs. You Will Dream New Dreams is a remarkable parent's support group in print. The shared narratives come from those with newly diagnosed children, adult disabled children, and everything in between; their stories are short and unfold in plain language just what the parent suffering from informational and emotional overload needs. These experiences offer hope and encouragement and serve as a reminder that there are others out there who can help. The appendix includes resources to help parents track down local information and support. Klein is a cofounder of Exceptional Parent magazine and Schive is an associate editor there, so one can assume that this book will get ample publicity from that publication, the one most read by the target audience. This one will be requested. Essential for all consumer health collections. KellyJo Houtz Griffin, Eatonville, WA
