Finding the Truth: Why My Three Children Have a Disability

by Margaret Brown

Publisher: From the Desk of Margaret Brown

Product Description:

Margaret Brown, a public school teacher and the mother of three children, each having a different disability, has an unique story to share.  It begins with Lauren, her oldest, having a central auditory processing disorder and later being misdiagnosed as having a bipolar disorder.  Margaret's life becomes even more challenging when her second-child Andrew has cerebral palsy and pervasive development disorder (autism).  Then later, she gives birth to Katie, who has juvenile glaucoma and photophobia (not dyslexia).  All three of her children were either labeled as being a slow-learner or mentally-challenged.  In addition, her children were falsely-labeled as having ADHD. In her book, she describes her roller coaster ride in helping her children to overcome the obstacles in learning to live with a disability, the labeling that goes with it, and their ability to succeed beyond society's expectations, from a change in their diet and a belief in themselves.  All three children graduated from a public university with honors.
