{"product_id":"9780071422697","title":"Reflections From A Different Journey","description":"Most parents of children with disabilities lack personal experience with adults with disabilities. Hearing from people who have lived the disability experience can provide all parents with essential information about the possibilities for their children. Reflections from a Different Journey comprises forty inspiring essays written by successful adult role models who share what it is like to grow up with a disability. Compiled by two award-winning advocates for the disabled, each eloquently written essay is an insightful source of wisdom, inspiration, and emotional support as well as a rare glimpse inside the lives and minds of people with many different disabilities -- cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, autism, learning disabilities, deafness, blindness, mental illness, developmental disabilities, spina bifida, muscular dystrophy, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, congenital amputation, and chronic health conditions.\u003cp\u003e In preparing their essays, the authors were each asked to write about something they wished their own parents had read or been told while they were growing up. The essays, which demonstrate that, first and foremost, people with disabilities are human beings with the same needs and desires as people without disabilities are arranged thematically. Brimming with a wealth of life-affirming lessons, Reflections from a Different Journey offers many specific suggestions for parents and family members of people with disabilities, older disabled children, and education and health care professionals.  \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"McGraw-Hill Companies, The","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47013913460976,"sku":"9780071422697","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780071422697_p0.jpg?v=1763636075","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780071422697","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
