Jackie's
Review: Judy's book is simply awe inspiring. Her
strength and dedication shine through the pages of
Breakthrough Parenting like a beacon in a storm. Any
parent - of any child - can learn from the no-nonsense advice
from a mom who has spent her life caring for and sharing with
those who have disabilities. The unique blend of stories
about her son, Eric, along with stories gleaned from others, in
combination with many useful tips and resources, makes this book
a heart-warming must have for any parent, grandparent, teacher
or friend. Professionals who work with children may also
benefit from reading Judy's words.
