Description

An upbeat account of a mother's journey parenting twins with different disabilities. It is a tale of advocacy outlining the strategies used when working with doctors, teachers and neighbors. It describes how a mother explored options available to her family, looking for the right "fit" and how as a family they worked on the life skills that helped her son and daughter become independent. The importance of communities and the role they play in supporting an individual is explained. The balance between safety and individual autonomy is explored. The lessons shared are instructive to parents of children with and without disabilities.

Author Biography:

Ms. Fickenscher is the parent of twins. An education for over 30 years, she served in many capacities from class room teacher to central office administrator. She has been active in promoting opportunities for individuals with developmental disabilities. Now retired, she enjoys her work with a non-profit dedicated to creating intentional communities that supports adults with developmental disabilities as they move into their own places. She managed a bowling program for Special Olympics and is active in her church and her community. In her spare time, she travels to places on her bucket list.
