What if I told you your child does not have a disability? Instead, what if I told you your child has extraordinary abilities that can set him or her apart from his peers, and that these abilities can set him or her to become a successful, independent adult.Amy Sela helps parents and teachers look beyond a child's disability, and shift focus on what the child is good at. Her main focus is to build on these skills, instead of trying to make a child or student fit the one size fits all model. Her mission is to change the term, "Children with Disabilities" to "Children with Abilities."Parents who have children with Autism find this book especially helpful.In this book, she maps out a plan for parents and teachers to use that will get the most out of the child. A step by step plan that has helped countless parents and teachers focus on what is important. She shows parents how to dive in their child's world and build a communication that they have never had before. She explains the importance that a "team' is build between parents and teachers and what goals should really be focused on. Finally, she explains how "mommy becoming a dummy" will be the smartest thing a caretaker can do.It is so hard to focus on the good and the bad at the same time. Lets focus on the good.
