Fall and Recovery: Raising Children with Disabilities through Lessons Learned in

Description: Fall and Recovery by Joanne De Simone Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description When the pediatrician places the measuring tape around her infants head and notes, His head is a little small, Joanne knows that motherhood wont be as she had dreamt. Even as a special educator, Joanne isnt prepared to raise a child with a life-limiting brain malformation. Nor is she ready for the compounded pain and alienation that comes when her second son is diagnosed with autism. But the struggle to balance her sons medical and educational challenges drives Joanne to reconnect with the lessons she learned as a modern dancer - and there she finds enlightenment. Inspired by her experience performing Jose Limons There Is a Time, based on Ecclesiastes 3, each chapter of Fall and Recovery details a dance lesson and the dichotomy of parenting children with disabilities. Over time, Joanne discovers that surviving motherhood isnt a matter of strength, bravery, or faith. Its a matter of linking your past experiences and creating your own purpose. Its realizing that we live simultaneously in love and grief. In the end, dance teaches Joanne not only how to move freely through pain but also how to fall and recover.
