I wish my parents could have had a book like this when I became disabled in the 50s. Russell, who has a disabled child, speaks from experience and she’s had all the experiences that come with raising a kid who uses a wheelchair. In direct language, she offers advice on the education, clothing, recreation, and socialization that disabled children need. Russell is British, so about half of her practical advice applies only to people in the U.K. Her advice on dealing with problems like sibling jealousy, parent burnout, and sexuality is universally applicable.
