Must Read Understanding Your Daughter

If your daughter or grand-daughter has this dehabilitating syndrome, I strongly recommend you read this book. I am a grandmother whos grand-daughter has Rett Syndrome. Not knowing the unknown will hamper, push you away, make you wonder what's she's thinking and what for you to do? This book will give you so much advise, and answer the unknowns, and give you more insentives to your knowings. This book will give answers that doctors cannot even tell you. (They most likely have not walked in your footsteps.) How the family will cope, together, with your daughter. This book is a must for any and all families dealing with a female with Rett Syndrome. I cannot stress it enough. Anyone close to her, should take the time to read this knowledgeable, factual and inspiring book. I gave this book to the mother, and told her that she MUST read it. I promise you, that you'll see light at the end of a darken pit. This is why I gave this book 5 stars.

The title says it all

We have an 11 year old daughter with Rett Syndrome named Meredith. We only recently heard about this wonderful book. For so many years we wondered what was going through Meredith's head - this book answered that question and many more. It was life changing. It is a MUST READ for parents, teachers and all other professionals that come into contact and care for our special children.
