The honest, relatable, actionable roadmap to parenting a disabled child, covering topics such as diagnosis, school, disability rights, doctors, insurance, financial planning, and taking care of yourself through it all. 120,000 babies annually are born with birth defects according to the CDC. One of those babies was author Kelley Coleman's. She had to reinvent the parenting wheel. Just like every parent in this situation, every single time. There's no handbook for how to do this. Until now. Told with empathy and humor, Coleman's firsthand experience pairs with expert interviews in Everything No One Tells You About Parenting a Disabled Child to guide parents through the systems and realities of disability parenting. Coleman offers an authentic and encouraging parent‑who's‑been‑there‑voice alongside Letters to Myself, where fellow parents of children with various disabilities write a letter to themselves on the day they learned their child was disabled. With essential checklists and templates, key questions, and expert wisdom, overwhelmed parents can immediately put this guidance into action. Everything No One Tells You About Parenting a Disabled Child is the definitive roadmap to becoming the parents who take action, who best support their disabled children, and who celebrate their children exactly as they are. Feature film development executive turned writer of things and reinventress of wheels, Kelley Coleman writes for family audiences, and developed early versions of movies including Frozen, Tangled, and The Princess and the Frog. As a disability rights advocate and parent of a child with multiple disabilities, Coleman is passionate about writing and elevating stories that feature authentic representations of people like her own son - and looks forward to the day he will write his own story. She and her family live in Los Angeles.

For parents of children with special needs, to achieve visibility and meaningful interaction in their communities takes a whole set of skills and commitment quite different to those required to achieve the same outcomes for a family of typically developing individuals.This is an everyday struggle that not all parents face. It requires 'Extreme Parenting' and that's what author Kylie McClelland shares in her new book- her personal experience, the issues these parents need to deal with, and the strategies and techniques they must equip themselves with to achieve the parenting required to guide their challenging children toward lives of dignity and choice. "I am not in the business of telling anyone how to live.This is just what I did, how I met the challenges and helped my family both as individuals and as a unit to have a life which is more happy than not.It's certainly not the only way, it may not be the 'right'way, but it is what has worked for us." TESTIMONIALS “This is a thoughtful, compassionate and insightful book that touches the heart and inspires the very best of human endeavour. It is a tribute to those who live with a disabled person, advocate for disabled persons, and who strive to educate a world naive to the challenges and diffi culties of disability. Merely informing does not often educate in matters such as these. This personal story of hardship, heartbreak, frustration, coupled with joy, hope, achievement and love will be instrumental in doing so, whilst supporting and strengthening others. In doing so, Kylie McClelland has sent a strong challenge to those charged with the care and support of those we are privileged to serve.” Dr Bruce Chenoweth Senior Staff Specialist Psychiatrist, Development and Assessment Team, South East Sydney Local Health Network Conjoint Senior Clinical Lecturer, School of Psychiatry, University of New South Wales “This book oozes intelligence, deep thought and confronts those who cannot accept that our human diversity must be celebrated and accepted . . . it conveys exactly what needs to be said . . . just wonderful.” Mary Lou Carter, Mother, Activist, Secretary of the Carers Alliance “This book is my bible and needs to be in every carer’s hands. Money can not buy the kind of help this has given us.This book will change lives.” Betty Slatyer, Primary carer, grandmother and advocate Every health professional should read this book. Kylie McClelland will become to carers of children with autism spectrum disorder what Lionel Logue became to King George VI’s speech; a person who thinks outside the square and dares to use their own vision, instincts and determination to achieve results.

How do two parents who are blind take their children to the park? How is a mother with dwarfism treated when she walks her child down the street? How do Deaf parents know when their baby cries in the night? When writer and musician Eliza Hull was pregnant with her first child, like most parents-to-be she was a mix of excited and nervous. But as a person with a disability, there were added complexities. She wondered: Will the pregnancy be too hard? Will people judge me? Will I cope with the demands of parenting? More than 15 per cent of Australian households have a parent with a disability, yet their stories are rarely shared, their experiences almost never reflected in parenting literature. In We’ve Got This, twenty-five parents who identify as Deaf, disabled or chronically ill discuss the highs and lows of their parenting journeys and reveal that the greatest obstacles lie in other people’s attitudes. The result is a moving, revelatory and empowering anthology. As Rebekah Taussig writes, ‘Parenthood can tangle with grief and loss. Disability can include joy and abundance. And goddammit – disabled parents exist.’ Contributors include Jacinta Parsons, Kristy Forbes, Graeme Innes, Jessica Smith, Jax Jacki Brown, Nicole Lee, Elly May Barnes, Neangok Chair, Renay Barker-Mulholland, Micheline Lee and Shakira Hussein. We’ve Got This will appeal to readers of Growing Up Disabled in Australia and other titles in the Growing Up series.

Every expectant parent dreams of having a healthy, 'perfect' baby. But for some, those expectations are shattered forever with the arrival of a disabled child. Long-cherished hopes must now be set aside as these parents begin to deal with a new, unwelcome reality and take the first tentative steps on a long and challenging life journey. Lessons from my Child is a collection of stories gathered from parents of special-needs children from around the world. In their own words, these parents speak openly and honestly about raising a child with intellectual or physical disabilities - the sleepless nights, the long periods of sadness, the tiny triumphs and the ongoing battle to ensure that their child assumes his or her rightful place in the world. The stories are grouped into chapters that reflect the main stages of many parents' journeys as they move from grief, denial and anger to a point where they can accept their situation, and perhaps see their child's disability as embodying a profound life lesson. Each chapter begins with an expert psychological commentary on what parents may be experiencing at that stage. These accounts from parents allow rare insights into the challenges of their world and reveal the extraordinary rollercoaster of emotions many face daily. What emerges is a testament to human determination and a powerful reaffirmation of the strength of love.

This text explores the impact of parental disability on children, especially where lack of support to families results in significant restrictions to children's day to day lives. It reviews the literature on parental disability and its impact on children; considers why concern for the children of disabled parents has emerged at this particular juncture of history; explores whether the presence of parental disability affects the self-reported health and well-being of children; discusses how children's strengths as well as their vulnerabilities can be identified and promoted; and suggests how more effective social care services can be delivered to children in families affected by disability or chronic illness.

Fathers of disabled children can feel overlooked when the focus of much parenting support is aimed at mothers. Different Dads is a collection of inspiring personal testimonies written by fathers of children with a disability who reflect on their own experiences and offer advice to other fathers and families on the challenges of raising a child with a disability. The fathers featured represent a broad spectrum of experience. Their contributions reflect a wide range of cultures; some are single fathers, others are married adoptive fathers. What they all have in common are the challenges that face them and their families in raising a child with a disability. Issues explored include the reactions of family, friends and colleagues, how to deal with the organisations and professionals that support families with a disabled child, and the difficulty of being open about feelings in a culture that doesn't always expect men to have a sensitive or nurturing role. Offering direct and thoughtful perspectives on being a father of a child with a disability, this book will be a valuable source of support and information for families with disabled children, and also for health and social care professionals who work with these families.
