Sexuality: Your Sons and Daughters With Intellectual Disabilities
This book is a gem. The combined efforts of Melberg Schwier and Hingsburger have produced a lively resource that parents of a son or daughter at any age or with any kind of disability will treasure. It contains not only practical information about sexuality and sexual development, but is humourous and moving. The first-person accounts by parents and by people with disabilities sprinkled throughout the book are a creative way for parents to share ideas, strategies, worries with one another. The stories of people with disabilities give us all some hope for humanity. An excellent effort and a treasure to have.
