Coping With Cerebral Palsy

by Laura Anne Gilman

When loss or illness strikes a family, young people don't always have the experience to help them cope. These six new titles can help teens find the strength and the resources to help them get through even the toughest situations.Here's a down-to-earth look at cerebral palsy, including the many forms it takes, and how to cope both with the physical problems and with insensitive people. Never unrealistically upbeat or patronizing, the author gives concrete examples of how CP doesn't have to keep a teen from living a happy, full life.
