This is the best book I ever read dealing with a disability. I am the caregiver of my disabled wife and son and this gave me an insight of some of their inner most feelings. I would recommend this to anyone dealing with a disability.

As a teacher and a tutor of challenged students, I feel as if many of my questions have been answered. I have always made an effort to walk in the footsteps of my students ,and the Cohen Family has invited me to do so in DISABLED & CHALLENGED .I applaud you for your sincere honesty in sharing the rewards and challenges of your lives. I highly recommend this deep and heartfelt book .It is a gift to be shared among all .My sincere thanks and hopes that one day we will meet . YOU Terry Cohen, use your abilities to the fullest . One day ,I will shake your hand !

Sincerely, Judie Curry

I'm a teenager living with a disability and it is a challenge. This book has helped me understand more about my disability. It has helped me manage my life and plan for the future.

I want other people who have disabilities or care about people who do to read this book, too, no matter how old they are.

This book has been very helpful in understanding what many physical and emotional life challenges people with disabilities might face. As wife to a man living with a disability and mother to two children also living with a disability, this book has given me a new perspective and appreciation, as well as respect for my loved ones who daily struggle with things that come easy for me. It has shown them how they can take control of their life, rather than their disabilitie(s) controlling them. This is a must read not only for those living with a disability, but to all who care about them.

"Disabled and Challenged" is a well-written personal account of Terry's successful struggle with a severe disability. As Terry and Dr. Cohen so aptly put it, Terry is a person with a disability, not a disabled person. Terry's medical problems do not define "who he is", but rather, Terry defines who he is by how he deals with his disabilites and, like all of us, seeks fulfillment and happiness in life. A great read, I couldn't put it down.

This is one of the greatest resources regarding MMD that we have found so far. Hearing Terry's challenges and his positive attitude about the cards he has been dealt have been a great inspiration to myself and my son, who also has MMD. Terry's positive attitude and ability to always find the good in every situation really encourages my son, and would appeal to anyone with any type of disability. We would be interested in any future books the author may write as well. This book is very easy to read and understand as well. We have read it many times.

This book brings courage, heart and wisdom to living with disabilities and challenge' and reminds everyone to do so with their own lives. Terry shares his story, his thinking, and feelings profoundly and so offers a real perspective on what impacts disabilities may have. And his strategies, realistic thinking, and commitment to live his dream are inspiring. A great collaboration of father and son.

I am a kid living with a disability. I am learning how to deal with it. This book showed me that when I am tired, it is ok to stop and rest.
