This book provides excellent insight to the realm of the father of a child with a disability. Very often, it is the mother who takes the lead role of addressing the disability issues. Where stands the father, other than in the role of provider? Here we see some excellent examples of fathers who have balanced well their work obligations with their parental ones in live situations which can be extremely demanding of time, attention, patience, understanding, and love.
