This volume brings to life the nature of resilience and
adaptation to change by describing turning points, or critical
experiences, in the lives of people with disabilities. People with
cerebral palsy, spina bifida, or attention deficit disorder are
interviewed. They describe events and experiences that changed
their lives and pinpoint which factors helped or hindered their
adaptation. Interweaving these compelling stories with popular
thought and research evidence, the authors show how understanding
the resilience of people with disabilities may help all readers
create meaning in life and become resilient.
Rich in personal detail, yet strong in its presentation of
academic literature and other non-fiction works related to
resilience, this volume will appeal to a wide variety of readers,
from people who wonder about the meaning of life, to the parents of
children with disabilities and organizations that deliver services
to them, to students and professors in the fields of psychology,
education, social work and occupational therapy.

Drawing together motivational theory, research-based evidence and
guidance for best practice, this book presents innovative models
for goal-setting and goal pursuit in therapy with children. Setting
goals not only allows children, and their families, to engage with
the overall therapeutic process, but it also provides an essential
motivational element throughout the entire therapeutic process. The
editors and contributors give practical advice on empathically
collaborating with the child and his or her family, to clearly
identify achievable goals that can be wholeheartedly pursued. Key
information on Self-Determination Theory (SDT) is accessibly
explained, which will aid professional understanding of the
relationship between motivation, goal-setting, and strong
therapeutic practice. The approaches in this book can be used by a
wide range of professionals, including those who specialise in
working with children with physical disabilities, learning
disabilities, and emotional and behavioural difficulties. The
combination of theory, research and practical advice makes this
book an essential resource for professionals working
therapeutically with children, including occupational therapists,
speech and language therapists, physiotherapists, counsellors,
psychologists, social workers, arts therapists and
psychotherapists.

and potential and kinetic energy aligned with the Next Generation
Science Standards, and will help young readers understand the
