ByJill Appleheimer, MSW, CYT

Usually printed in 3 - 5 business days
Based upon the author's 25 years of personal experience as the proud sibling of a young woman with Down Syndrome and her professional knowledge as an MSW this charming and helpful book is an essential resource for young women with developmental disabilities who are approaching or at the age of puberty. The anecdotal format focuses on the abilities and talents of the main character and creates positive associations to soothe and comfort during what can be a confusing and challenging time in a child's development. The vibrant, adorable and colorful illustrations are suitable for young women who may not be able to read and can be used as a guide to empower the child for greater independence in terms of their own health and wellness care. This book can be used by schools, psychologists, social workers, doctors, parents and caretakers. "Kristen Grows Up" was inspired by a very special young woman in the hopes that it will support, comfort and empower other special young women.
