 "Steve Grieger shares the ups and downs of his work with developmentally disabled adults in a very open and honest way. It is refreshing to read about all of the challenges without the glamorized “see what I did” version. That is something I love, you get the real sense of who these amazing people are and you see them as people. Not as subjects or characters who need to be pitied. Too many books do that! The personal moments that have been weaved into his diary of his work are perfectly placed. I would highly recommend this book to anyone!" RECOMMENDED by US REVIEW OF BOOKS "Written by someone with intimate knowledge of what it's like to be around grown-ups with mental retardation, this book will surely resonate among those in that difficult field who often feel that they are the ones who are "challenged." The book is highly humorous, which is part of its attraction. When working with these individuals, there are laughs in every day, and these happy moments cover up some of the tears and fears that caregivers feel for their fragile, special charges. Kudos to Mr. Grieger." Premios
PRAISE FOR CHALLENGED: A TRIBUTE "Inspiring, encouraging, and a few surprises. Challenged is a well-written story that makes you laugh, cry and reflect on the "good old days" and the many positive changes in our field over the past 30 years. Steve Grieger has seen it all... Sharing his successes and challenges of everyday life!" --Mark R. Klaus, Executive Director, Home of Guiding Hands "Funny and deeply honest. As the mother of a child with Down syndrome, anyone who has ever loved or cared for someone with special needs will find it transcendent." --Patricia Connolly, parent and advocate "Mr. Grieger's witty and insightful book speaks to the heart of the human spirit. Through a series of eye-opening adventures it presents a unique and fascinating world, one that deserves recognition, filled with the joys and heartbreaks of self-discovery It is an important contribution to the field of intellectual disabilities and other allied professions, and would make a wonderful addition to any classroom or home library." --Dr. Tomeka S. Williams, Ph.D., clinical psychologist, BA Center for Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
