Choice of Two Book Resource

This story book is crafted for parents who navigate the unique challenges of togetherness while caring for children living with distinct ‘labels’, whether they be cognitive, physical, or a blend of both. Drawing from personal parenting experiences and having learnt the complexities first-hand while loving a boy who lives with intellectual disability, autism, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), sensory processing disorder and anxiety, this book seeks to extend beyond fellow parents. Instead, it’s a resource to share with your family and friends, encouraging them to explore and understand your child’s ‘labels’, rethink social planning, and delve into concepts like sensory overload, accessibility, and best ways of communicating.
