I am a writer and mother of three. One of my kids has an intellectual disability. Jessica, now forty years old, resides in a group home.

When I began researching facts about parents with children with an intellectual disability, I discovered that In the United States alone, there are roughly eight million people with intellectual disabilities, including 425,000 children.

THAT’S A LOT OF HUMANS!

I always struggled with the idea Jessica was less than perfect. As it turned out, she was my greatest teacher. She taught me I was the one who needed to change. My hope is my book will serve as a bridge between parents of typically developing children and children with disabilities.
