Listening Matters

Everyone--with a disability or without--is different! That's one reason why it's so important to listen when you're trying to help or make a difference. What is helpful and encouraging to one person can be annoying and unhelpful to another. People with disabilities are just as diverse as people in general. This thoughtful volume discusses how important it is to communicate well and pay attention, supporting different voices and points of view and learning how to treat people how they want to be treated. Full-color photos will draw readers in, and fact boxes will pinpoint key bits of information.
