In seven simple but powerful stories, this transformational book offers you these insights:
1.A personal discernment about disability that is constructive for both parent and child – one that turns the lessons of vulnerability into attributes that show disability can actually become a confidence builder for both job candidate and employer in tomorrow’s job market.
2.A range of skills and strengths that a child with unexpected challenges needs for building a safe, happy life – one based on self-determination, independent living and integrated employment.
3.A series of real-world, life-changing issues about self-confidence youngsters with a disability will probably face but won’t learn how to handle in a school setting – especially during these unusual times.
Using his personal experience as a Fortune 500 vice president, author Jim Hasse identifies seven career builders parents can use to help their elementary student with unexpected challenges grow in self-confidence, a key factor in disability development and career readiness.
Jim, a Global Career Development Facilitator who has athetoid cerebral palsy, illustrates each of those seven bits of career advice with a transformational story from his own 45 years in business.
For each short story, he defines the issue at hand for learning how to live and work well with a disability, shows how his parents and others helped him personally resolve the situation, and provides a potential path parents can follow as mentors for their own youngster. (13,000 words)
