Opis

Newly pregnant with her second child, author Nancy D. Price contracts German Measles. Her doctor confirms there is a possibility the baby will be born with disabilities. On January 30, 1960, Nancy and her husband, Bob, welcome into the world their first son, Robert Kevin Price. After Nancy and the baby come home from the hospital, it gradually becomes apparent that his development is not normal. In Living With Robbie, Nancy shares Robbie's story as she and her husband learn to adjust to living with a child who suffers from multiple handicaps. It follows his development as he progresses through multiple programs, describes the problems the family faces in dealing with his special needs, and shows the profound effect he has, not only on his parents, but on his siblings.
