A book review by Caren S.

Kelley Coleman’s book is a must-read for parents of disabled children. It’s a comprehensive guide that provides practical advice on how to navigate the complex medical, educational, and social service systems that are essential to a child’s success. The book covers a wide range of topics, including diagnosis, working with your medical team, insurance, financial planning, disability rights and advocacy, and individualized education plans.

What sets this book apart is the author’s empathetic and humorous approach. Kelley Coleman presents key information, templates, and wisdom alongside practical advice from over 40 experts. The book is presented in a conversational tone, making it easy to read and understand. It’s a great resource for parents who want to spend less time filling out forms and more time loving their children exactly as they are.

Overall, I highly recommend this book to anyone who is parenting a disabled child. It’s an invaluable resource that will help you navigate the complex systems and services that are essential to your child’s success

An online version of the book is already available and a paperback copy will be available in March 2024 if interested you can click on the link

About Me

Caren, Spectrum Parenting

I am Caren – I’ve been wanting to start a blog because I feel the need to share my journey, struggles, and victories with others. When it comes to describing myself, I wear many hats: wife, keeper of my house, corporate world employee, friend, sister, and daughter. But above all, I identify most strongly with being called “Mama.” In this space, I’ll be focusing on the role of motherhood, which has taken me on the wildest roller-coaster ride of my life.
