Items related to Uncommon Voyage: Parenting a Special Needs Child in...
After Laura Shapiro Kramer's ten-month-old son Seth was diagnosed with cerebral palsy in 1984, she became increasingly dissatisfied with the incomplete, slow diagnoses of doctors and the inadequacy of information and emotional support her family received from the mainstream medical community. She began to search for and try out alternative therapies and medicines - and they worked. It was with these that Seth had, and continues to have, his greatest advances.
Uncommon Voyage will educate you about these unconventional options, which can benefit children with many different special needs. Ms. Kramer blends practical medical information and advice on when - and how - to take risks and challenge treatment with an intensely personal, spiritual story of her own and her family's adjustment to having a special needs child and sibling. Going beyond the boundaries of a personal memoir, Uncommon Voyage is about the experience of triumphing over narrow perceptions and prescriptions of how to parent and treat a child with special health care needs.
To guide you in your own search for answers, included is an invaluable resource guide to medical, therapeutic, and counseling organizations, as well as to experts in various alternative therapies.
