I wish I had been given this book when I took my daughter home from the NICU, but honestly, I probably would have lost it in all the chaos. I love the way information is arranged to include the author's overview and experience, expert advice, practical templates, and questions to reflect on.

Ok, so a book can't really tell you "everything" someone would need to know about parenting a disabled child... or could it? As a parent of a disabled child, I was intrigued, so this titled struck my interest.

Overall, the book was really well-written and researched. The book provides a good level of detail and information of many different primary topics that not only your disabled child may face, but that you also will, being their parent. I could see this book being a very helpful reference guide and/or resource for parents just starting a journey with their disabled child.

I thank the author for writing about this challenging topic, the publisher and Net Galley for my ARC of this wonderful book!

I have to admit, I was skeptical of this book based on the title. A single book can't tell me everything, can it? Well, yes. And no. The author shares what worked for her, but also brings in experts to talk about things that might not have been her experience. I am a Disabled parent of a Disabled child. This book is really relatable, even thought my child is not disabled in the same way as the author's. I found the style of writing to be really approachable, and appreciated the author's sense of humor. Several times while reading this book, I called my friend who is also a Disabled parent of a Disabled child to talk about topics/ideas covered in this book.
Thanks to NetGalley for a copy of this book.
