Description: "This book provides a take on life from the perspective of a child who has no sight, no speech and uses a wheelchair because of physical disabilities." "Working from the perspective of a child with such needs and drawing on his own experience, Richard Orr provides access to the thoughts of such a child, recognizing that family and support workers can get things both right and wrong; suggests explanations for the puzzling behaviour often encountered when working with children who are dependent on others for the ordinary activities of daily life; and enables people new to disability work to avoid some fo the pitfalls and take some short cuts to becoming interesting and useful to a child with complex needs."--Jacket.
