Living Successfully with Disability is written by Mark Nagler, Ph.D. and Adam Nagler, father and son. Mark Nagler, Ph.D., was born with cerebral palsy and has triumphed over his disability. By living with a disability, he is able to give a personal view and help teach people how to cope with challenges. This book is about disabilities in general. It is divided into four parts.
Part one describes living with a disability.
This part contains a very good section on advocacy and laws protecting the disabled. It explains the importance of advocacy and describes the different types. The author discusses the effect of a disability on family and friends and changes that take place in the home and at work. Part two explains the role of caring for people with disabilities. Much like the individual who has the disability, caregivers have to go through an adjustment process.
