Book ID/图书代码： 00431010B41556

English Summary/英文概要： Every parent of a child with disabilities knows just how overwhelming and frustrating it can be. When these children enter adulthood, the difficulties can become even greater. Many parents are tempted to keep their children at home, believing that they will be safer and happier under their care. But adults with special needs deserve the same chance at a happy life as everyone else. As the mother of an adult child with disabilities, Peggy Lou Morgan has years of experience dealing with the challenges these adults face every day. She believes that the most loving thing parents can do for their children is to prepare them to leave home in a way that works best for them. In Parenting an Adult with Disabilities or Special Needs, she gives parents invaluable advice on:

teaching their adult child to be a self-advocate • helping their child cope with relationships • helping their child find a good vocational program • finding an apartment and a roommate • understanding government programs that can help their children while they become more independent

Compassionate and thorough, this guide will help readers to ensure that their children leave the nest with confidence and joy.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 每个有残疾儿童的家庭都明白这是一件极其令人烦恼和挫败的事。如果这些儿童进入了成年期，情况将变得更加复杂。这些家庭可能选择不让孩子出门并且觉得在他们的照顾下，孩子会更安全，更快乐。但是，像所有正常人一样，特殊成人也应享有幸福生活的权利。作为一个特殊成人的母亲，Peggy Lou Morgan有着多年照顾特殊成人的经验，并且知道如何帮助他们解决其每天所遇到的问题。她认为要用最适合孩子的方式来训练他们离开家庭，这是父母能为孩子做得最充满爱意的事。关于如何照顾有智力残疾或有特殊需求的成人，她在以下几方面给出了十分有用的建议：
培养孩子成为有自我主张的人、协助孩子学会处理人际关系、帮助孩子选择合适的职业计划、为孩子找到一间公寓和一个了解相关政府计划的室友，这些政府计划在孩子变得更独立时是有帮助的。
本指导书十分详尽并且充满着关怀，教会读者如何帮助自己的孩子带着信心和愉快的心情离开家。(ZXY)
