Here is something written and published for parents trying to come to terms with their child’s disability. Gift of Guidance - The Stories Hidden Inside Every Child is a guidebook for parents of children with autism and developmental challenges written by Sharanya Ravichandran, a child behaviour therapist.
Ideas put forth with simplicity and lucidity in a “chewable” format, the book draws upon Sharanya’s experiences in the field of early intervention. Every chapter ends with a message.
