Price $15.00 (plus shipping & handling) A collection of poems and prose written by Janice Fialka, a social worker, national speaker, and a mother of two children, one of whom has developmental disabilities (and many wonderful abilities!). Her writings honestly describe the range of feelings and experiences of being a parent of a child with special needs. She writes about inclusion, use of labels, the strength of support groups, talking to siblings about special needs, and the power of feelings. Her much-published "Advise to Professionals who must 'conference cases'" and "You can make a difference in our lives" are both included. It Matters is full of honest emotions and insights for both parents and professionals. This book has a place in the classroom, at the agency, or in the quiet corner of the bedside stand. |
