When I'm Away from Home
When I'm Away From Home is a workbook designed to provide specific information about the individual care requirements of a disabled child for anyone responsible for their care. It includes the child's medical and physical needs, their daily routine and a section which they can fill in themselves about their personality, preferences and habits. The workbook will benefit everyone involved: it will be an invaluable resource for the carer; the child, who may find it particularly difficult to understand and adapt to change, will benefit from the continuation of their everyday routine; and it may help to alleviate the anxieties of a parent or carer when they entrust their child into someone else's care. This clear and comprehensive workbook will help ensure that children's mental, physical, medical and emotional needs are met whenever they are being looked after by someone other than their primary carer.
My Life and Me
Children separated from their birth families are often denied the opportunity to know about their past that other children may take for granted. Life story work offers a structured way for children to build a sense of self worth and develop a valuable record about themselves which they can carry with them through life. For use by children of any background or lifestyle, colour coded sections include space for drawings, photos, documents and a record of thoughts and feelings, as well as advice for parents and caretakers. The first fully comprehensive life story workbook!
Listen to Me
Written for parents, carers and professionals who have responsibilities for people with profound intellectual and multiple disabilities, Listen to Me is a practical guide to coping with the complex problems of someone with this level of disability, asserting their rights, interpreting their needs successfully, and maintaining effective contact with all the professionals and organisations who deal with them. Using examples from the author's experience with her own daughter, each chapter deals with communicating the person's rights and needs in particular situations. It is shown how it is possible to enrich the individual's experience and ensure that others value him or her as a distinct individual with a right to a meaningful life.
THE DOLL'S HOUSE
When Sienna is adopted by Inga and Matt Taylor, she is intrigued by the story of their daughter, Anika, who went missing a few years back. But who could have taken her? Or did Anika run away? Discovering Anika's doll's house in a locked cupboard is the beginning of a mystery that Sienna feels compelled to solve. ***** Independent Review 'I bought this book for my niece but decided to read it first myself. Fabulous. It is very easy to get into and start reading; not too much description that might tire a reluctant reader and truly captivating. One of the main characters, the shopkeeper could have come out of Harry Potter or even Paddington Bear. It is a child's version of a real page turner and with a hint at the end of more adventures to come. Marvellous.'
