| Abstract
|
:
|
Through in-depth interviews, observations of parents, meetings, and analyses of popular advice, Linda Blum examines the experiences of diverse mothers coping with the challenges of their children's zinvisible disabilitiesy in the face of daunting social, economic, and political realities. She reveals how mothers in widely varied households learn to advocate for their children in the dense bureaucracies of the educational and medical systems; wrestle with anguishing decisions about the use of psychoactive medications; and live with the inescapable blame and stigma in their communities.
