Summary

Kelley Coleman is a mom to two amazing boys, one of whom has multiple disabilities (including a yet-undiagnosed genetic syndrome, cerebral palsy, autism, CVI, epilepsy, and more).

Presented with empathy and humor, Everything No One Tells You About Parenting a Disabled Child gives parents the tools to conquer the stuff, so that they can spend less time filling out forms, and more time loving their children exactly as they are.

Kelley’s message resonates with everyone, even parents whose children are not disabled. We all know someone in this camp (whether it's a kid with ADHD or a rare disease). Kelley's tools and resources change lives for families who have a child with disabilities and all of those who interact with them.
