The Empowered Parent: Thoughtfully Approaching Your Child's Needs

by Joseph Moldover

Written for parents who are faced with a child’s disability, this slim guide is a different kind of parenting book. It distills complex topics and questions into understandable and manageable maps for action. It quickly and succinctly gives readers what they are looking for—a guide to empowerment for parents who are overwhelmed, for couples who are struggling, for families who have lost their bearings. The purpose of this book is to help parents overcome the mental and emotional barriers that paralyze them from being the effective advocates that their children need them to be.
