What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The book's approach to disability is direct, secular, and empowering. It uses person-first language and highlights the social model of disability (i.e., societal barriers are the disabling factor) over a purely medical one. The tone is consistently hopeful and positive, focusing on adaptation, strength, and inclusion rather than on limitations or pity. It normalizes disability as a part of human diversity.
