If you have a child with a physical disability, how can you plan
your family's life in a way that is inclusive for everyone? What
can you do to create a family where every member pulls his or her
own weight (in appropriate measure), meets challenges, and has
moments in the spotlight along the way? Most parents of a child who
has a physical disability want their child to have fun, be
responsible, make friends, and take acceptable risks-in short, to
feel like "just one of the kids"-and they want to make sure that
the needs of the whole family are met, too. Just One of the Kids is
designed to help parents focus not on what could have been but
instead on what can be, so that they, their children, and the
grandparents thrive as individuals and as a family. The advice from
psychologists Kay Harris Kriegsman and Sara Palmer is valuable for
any family with children who have a physical disability, from any
cause. Their warm and encouraging book is full of family stories,
tips, and tools. Parents of children with physical disabilities can
help them develop the skills needed to meet life's challenges and
launch into independence. Parents, building on that foundation and
acknowledging each person's contributions, interests, and
aspirations, create an inclusive and resilient family.
