It is difficult enough for teens growing up today to deal with the
regular issues arising from family, school, and relationships,
regardless of whether they have physical disabilities or not. Add
to those problems the extra obstacles that visual, hearing, and
physical impairments present some teens, and the road to adulthood
just got exponentially more complex. Physical Disabilities: The
Ultimate Teen Guide provides a roadmap through these additional
tribulations teens with disabilities face by showing the methods,
mechanisms, and resources other teens are using to cope with their
disabilities. Discussing everything from going away to college to
living independently to traveling internationally, this book is
filled with stories from active teens who have vision, hearing, and
other physical disabilities. Interviews with teens who are meeting
the challenges of living with cerebral palsy, spina bifida,
Osteosarcoma, amputations, visual impairment, Rellex Sympathetic
Dystrophy, paralysis, hearing impairment, and deafness are included
along with more than 40 photos of these teens participating in
various activities. Author Denise Thornton has organized the book
into eight categories: School, Tools and Technology, Transportation
and Access, Sports, the Arts, Relationships, Independence, and
Advocacy. Each chapter combines the experiences of teens and young
adults in all these spheres with up-to-date information on the
resources that readers can call on as they follow their own dreams.
Teens, parents, teachers, and medical professionals will find this
to be a valuable resource.
