Publisher Description:
The definitive work for parents and for social workers in the field of developmental disability. Moise's first book, As Up We Grew With Barbara, taught us to see people with developmental disabilities as individuals with enormous potential. Now Lotte explores the efforts and achievements of a mature couple, tracing their growth from birth through significant and intimate relationships.

There's no sentimentality here; just common sense, good humor, political and social awareness, and an unflinching look at the life of an American family struggling to surmount all obstacles. Barbara and Fredƒ‚‚"ƒ‚‚€ƒ‚‚"Grownups Now encourages full understanding and acceptance of people with disabilities. Lotte Moise offers her writing in the hope that other families who have children with special needs may read it, take heart, and take action. As she says, "Attitudes are the only real disability."
