I appreciated
Terri Mauro's comments about the issues of advocating for teens and adults with disabilities discussed in Peggy Lou Morgan's book,
Parenting Adults with Disabilities or...s Future.
I believe our advocacy efforts from birth to age 21 have a great deal in common with the effort we put in to childbirth preparation classes and planning. Our sons and daughters spend most of their lives in their adult years, so no matter how energetically we focus on their childhood and transition, there are many joys and challenges in the years ahead that can take us almost completely by surprise. Getting to know our children as adults is at least as interesting as getting to know them as babies and children. And of course we probably also will wish we knew now what we will know then.
Any comments, books, or articles you can recommend to help other parents to prepare (or cope) - please share.
Thanks!
