5.0 out of 5 stars After The Tears Is A Must Read!, June 29, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: After the Tears: Parents Talk About Raising a Child With a Disability (Hardcover)

I have worked with individuals experiencing disabilties and their families for several years. After The Tears is an honest, informative and poignant collection of experiences of families whose lives have been changed by a family member with a disability. This is a great resource for families and a MUST read for professionals and para professionals. It has raised my awareness and reminded me of both the strength and fragility of the families and individuals whom I have served.

5.0 out of 5 stars Understanding Disabilities, September 10, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: After the Tears: Parents Talk about Raising a Child with a Disability (Paperback)

I am a teacher who has never had a child with disabilities. This book really helped me understand what the parents of my students are going through. It is a great book for new parents or friends of parents with a baby with disabilities of any kind.

5.0 out of 5 stars after the tears, October 21, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: After the Tears: Parents Talk about Raising a Child with a Disability (Paperback)

I am a parent of a child with a disability. This book was wonderfully written. It expressed many of the feelings I had when my child was born. I realized I am not alone. I have read many books about coping and this is the best one by far. It is also an easy read. I read it in one night.
