Career Development Essentials, Disabled or Not

Much of the material I’ve seen about effective special needs parenting boils down to this: mentoring a son or daughter with unexpected challenges is no different than coaching someone who doesn’t have a disability. Of course, there are a whole host of additional responsibilities when disability is involved, but this audiobook gets down to the essentials, at least when it comes to career development. A good match between voice and text.
