To be a special needs child
Is to be alone
Before teachers
Before parents
Before friends
Before analysts
Before therapists
Who only want to prove
How smart they are
And how hard it is for me.
Do they really know this
Better than I do?
“The aim of the book is to demonstrate for children how to express their difficulties, needs and preferences; and to help those around them — parents, analysts, therapists and teachers — to find ways to listen to and assist these children.”
