Description
As a parent of a teenage boy with an intellectual disability, this book is a must read. It will be my go-to guide for many years to come. With refreshing 'frankness', the book answers questions that parents and carers may have during their child's journey through adolescence.If you need any guidance along your journey, this is the book for you - a powerful dose of encouragement and motivation to 'keep going'.
