Married With Special Needs Children
by Dr. Laura Marshak & Fran Prezant, M. Ed.,CCC-SLP
CRITICAL REVIEWS
| "Finding a book about the impact of a special-needs child on marriage and family life that doesn’t make you want to hide in a dark room with a box of chocolates and a bottle of wine and cry your eyes out is something of a challenge ... Without minimizing the difficulties of nurturing a marriage while nurturing a highly needy child, the authors point out ways to sustain and strengthen the ties of love, not just of duty, that bind spouses together. It’s an encouraging, even inspirational, read.... Full of practical advice for couples, whether they are functioning well or falling apart.”
Terri Mauro, author and host
