[QUOTE="Sheila, post: 93915, member: 23"] "Invisible disabilities" are hard to explain to a novice -- the child comes across as "willful." It's much easier for someone to accept what's required in dealing with-a child in a wheelchair than one that appears to be perfectly healthy. And because our kids have days that they perform better than others, you get the "see, s/he can do it if s/he wants to." husband's willingness to learn will be key. husband self-educating with info from sites such as [URL]https://web.archive.org/web/20061230090127/http://www.schwablearning.org/pdfs/2200_7-barktran.pdf?date=11-14-00[/URL] would be a good start. I found books written by Barkely and Hallowell helpful also. [/QUOTE]
