Helping People with Disabilities Help Themselves is a book about
several disabilities that people of all ages may encounter. If you
are a person with a disability or know of someone who is, this book
will help one cope and succeed by using positive thinking. The
author, Barbara Jean Young, has over thirty-four years of
experience in various areas of disabilities. As a special education
teacher, a retardation specialist, a parent advisor to deaf, blind,
and babies and preschoolers with multiple disabilities, and a sign
language instructor, Mrs. Young has worked with people of all ages,
from infants to adults, having a variety of disabilities. In this
book, she tells personal stories of how she was able to help each
individual live a more successful and meaningful life. Ironically,
in mid-life, Mrs. Young suddenly suffered several disabilities
herself resulting from a serious automobile crash involving a drunk
driver. In a twist of fate, Mrs. Young had more severe disabilities
than most of the people she was helping. Through this experience,
she is able to provide the reader with a special insight into what
it is like having a disability, and how to cope. Through her
experiences, Mrs. Young explains in her book how to assist people
who have disabilities and help them attain a more positive
attitude. This book also has a special section after each chapter
listing references that can be used to seek help for people who
want to learn more about disabilities.
