A BOOK ABOUT CATARACTS FOR PEOPLE WITH CATARACTS. NO COMPLEX MEDICAL TERMINOLOGY - from one of America's Most Compassionate Doctors, Dr. David Richardson

Why YOU NEED This Cataract Surgery Book

It's a curious thing. People with cataracts often have very poor vision, making it difficult for them to read. And yet, their physicians typically ask them to sift through stacks of educational pamphlets and paperwork on cataracts. The documents are often single-spaced with small print and thin margins - in short, a nightmare for someone with cataracts. What's more, the information is oozing with hard-to-understand medical jargon and procedural terminology.

I really want my cataract patients to have an entirely different experience. That's why I went to work on "So, You've Got a Cataract?" This is a book about cataracts for people with cataracts. My goal is to provide the information you need to learn about your eye's condition and to make good, safe decisions about treatment.

The book covers, in a language that anyone can understand, basic information about how the eye works and what is useful to know about a cataract. If you are considering modern cataract surgery, you'll find most of what you need to know within the pages of this book. You'll learn what happens during the actual procedure and what to expect afterwards.

The larger page size and Kindle eBook format were specifically chosen for this project as they allow for enlarging the text size making it easier for those with poor vision to read.

NEW JOINTS is a must-read for anyone considering joint replacement. Though the illustrated exercises focus on knees and hips, the information directly relates to preparing for any orthopedic surgery. Written in a non-technical, approachable format, this manual addresses subjects that are applicable not only to those considering surgery, but to anyone who wants to learn how to better move in their own body. Chapters include: how to personalize exercises; the importance of setting goals and how to do so; understanding pain; balance and proprioception; self image; developing support systems; websites and books to use as additional tools. NEW JOINTS is also an excellent tool for helping readers learn how to communicate their own specific orthopedic issues and needs to doctors and physical therapists.

Both she and her husband have been through their own injuries and orthopedic surgeries, and NEW JOINTS is informed by her experiences in maintaining their functioning.

Raising NLD Superstars is essential reading for all those who come into contact with children with nonverbal learning disorders (NLD). Instead of insisting upon the one size fits all model of intervention the author focuses on the individual nature of children with NLD and offers practical, adaptable advice that will help them find their place both in the family and in wider social groups. The author shares her experiences of life as the parent of a child with NLD with humanity and humor. She looks not only at day to day practicalities such as making meal times easier for all the family and reaching compromises on inappropriate clothing choices but also at the long-term plan for independence. This book will help parents and caregivers encourage children with NLD to reach their emotional and cognitive potential while considering the views and experiences of other family members.

A developmental psychologist presents strategies to help parents of special-needs children navigate the emotional challenges they face.
As diagnosis rates continue to rise for autism, ADHD, learning disabilities, and other developmental differences, parents face a maze of medical, psychological, and educational choices - and a great deal of emotional stress. Many books address children's learning or behavior problems and advise parents what they can do to help their kids, but util Not What I Expected: Help and Hope for Parents of Atypical Children there was no books that explain what the parents are going through - and how they can cope with their own emotional upheaval - for their own sake, and for the wellbeing of the whole family.
With compassion, clarity, and an emphasis on practical solutions, Dr. Rita Eichenstein's Not What I Expected: Help and Hope for Parents of Atypical Children walks readers through the five stages of acceptance (similar to the stages of grief, but modified for parents of special-needs kids). Using vivid anecdotes and suggestions, she helps readers understand their own emotional experience, nurture themselves in addition to their kids, identify and address relationship wounds including tension in a marriage and struggles with children (special-needs and neurotypical), and embrace their child with acceptance, compassion and joy.

Can parents change, or are they saddled with their present attitudes and habits? Does understanding of a child and his problems of growing up make any real difference in what parents actually do, or in how the child matures? Many people today take a negative, defeatist attitude toward those questions. However, there is a positive way of thinking about child growth and development. We have sound psychological evidence that children learn under certain conditions, when they feel a need for learning, when the task is meaningful and appropriate to their ability, when they can see results, and when they experience satisfaction in the process and the product. Parents can consciously help to create these conditions. This is especially true in helping the child learn to read. Parents not only can avoid creating situations in which the child becomes bored, frustrated, or resentful about reading; they can also create situations in which the child can succeed with reasonable effort, whatever his ability may be; situations in which he can get some satisfaction from reading, whether he reads a book of riddles, an adventure story, or fascinating facts about history or science.In this book we have tried not to be prescriptive. We do not want to sound like the voice of authority telling parents what to do about their child's reading. Our aim is to give parents a background of understanding that will help them to determine their own role in the reading development of their child. Many specific suggestions will be given, as a reservoir of ideas from which parents may select any pattern or combination of patterns that seems appropriate to their child. Thus they will become more competent and confident in their rightful role as co-workers with teachers in the formal aspects of their child's education
