Pearl Buck' s inspiring account of her struggle to understand her daughter
Pearl Buck' s inspiring account of her struggle to help and understand her daughter, Carol, a child with mental retardation, has helped thousands of families like her own. New material written especially for this edition, amplifies her story and gives the book an important historical perspective. "...Buck turned away from fiction for this heartfelt 1950 volume about her mentally retarded daughter. The volume broke the taboo against raising the subject (of mental retardation) in public and laid the groundwork for the literature on the disabled that followed." By Pearl Buck, Forward By James Mitchner, 112 pages 6"x9"

PLAY Tip
Teaching switch use to new switch-users!
Teach a new switch user about cause-and-effect by starting with an attractive switch that gives fun feedback itself. Switches that vibrate or play music are reinforcing all by themselves. Good examples are the Musical Bright Plate Switch and the Vibrating Mirror Plate Switch. Once the child understands that their action causes the effect, then you could attach a toy, Mini Fan, AM/FM Radio, Vibrating Pillow, or Tape Player to the switch. The child will soon learn that their touch has a real impact on the world around them!
