David is a young man who works in a mailroom and lives with his
parents. When a young woman named Sarah moves to his neighborhood
and begins to attend his church, David believes she's the girl of
his dreams. First, however, he has to figure out how to meet her,
in spite of the challenges his carefully structured world contains.
Reading specialists, special education teachers and librarians
agree there are few other titles like this available. Inspired by,
and written for, the author's 36 year old brother with Down
Syndrome, How David Met Sarah is both content and reading level
appropriate for adults with limited reading skills. This book has
been endorsed by the National Down Syndrome Society, and 20% of the
profits from each book will be donated to the NDSS. "What a
heartwarming glimpse inside David's mind and what it means to be
family Enlightening and informative for families and professionals
who love and care for children and adults with developmental
disabilities." - Robert A. Naseef, Ph.D., psychologist, author of
"Special Children, Challenged Parents," and father of an adult
child with autism "Anne Kelleher's outstanding work is to be
applauded for reaching a heretofore ignored and forgotten audience.
Ms. Kelleher gives a gift of entertaining with adult themes and
plots while staying appropriate to the audience of intention and
increasing the quality of life. There have been little or no works
produced for adults with limited mental abilities. How joyful that
this group of adults now has the luxury of reading books aimed to
hold their interest with the support of appropriate vocabulary and
structure levels. This bold, brave work is just the beginning...."
- Sandra Diamond, M.A., Ct. H., RMT, Experiential Healer "I can't
recommend this book strongly enough to the professionals. After
you've read it, you'll then understand why I say it's required
reading. Enjoy Annie's gift to the world." - Lawrence Kotkin, Ph.D.
