| Abstract
|
:
|
Parents of disabled children face obstacles that can tax the resolve and resources of even the strongest families. But now there's help. Peggy Morgan has developed a powerful system for obtaining dramatically better care for the children with one or more serious disabilities. "Parenting Your Complex Child" reflects the experience and knowledge she has gained through decades of navigating a sea of complex medical, educational, occupational and social issues while working with disabled clients and with her own son.
