Synopsis
"Robert Orr... has achieved the balance of evidenced-based practice with the integration of the concept of ordinariness. This work is a must for not only those working with children with an expressed extra special need, but also all nurses who work with people who have a learning disability." Helen Laverty, Health Lecturer, University of Nottingham
This lively and accessible book provides a take on life from the perspective of a child who has no sight and no speech and who uses a wheelchair because of physical disabilities.
The book:
- Offers a glimpse into the thoughts of such a child, recognizing that family and support workers sometimes get things right and sometimes don't
- Enables people new to disability work to avoid pitfalls and take short cuts in becoming interesting and useful to a child with complex needs
- Examines the puzzling behaviour often encountered when working with children who are dependent on others for the ordinary aspects of daily life
