L4E 1A8STEP BY STEP (Real Life Experiences with Cerebral Palsy) Written by Colleen Rose
Written by Colleen Rose
There are many children born with Cerebral Palsy who are unable to sit up, play or even do the simplest tasks. Colleen Rose, mother of four whose second child, born in 1983, was diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy at the age of a year, has written a self-help book entitled "Step by Step" (Real Life Experiences With Cerebral Palsy).
Colleen offers a comprehensive perspective using a combined method of therapy to teach the brain through repetition and various techniques that parents can utilize to accomplish unbelievable goals for their children. She provides a listing of the most renowned rehabilitation institutes in North America and her own personal view on how to handle societal barriers.
Colleen was able to teach her daughter how to live independently through the use of some very effective rehabilitation techniques and common sense approaches. Her daughter now knows how to feed herself, brush her teeth, bathe, tie her shoes, dress herself, sit up, crawl, walk around the furniture, walk with a walker, is completely toilet trained and has gone on to greater achievements such as riding a bike and skating.

N.Y. State Developmental Disabilities Planning Council's "Digest" SAYS: Ms. Rose wrote this book as an educational piece for other parents to follow in caring for their child with a developmental disability. Ms. Rose offers readers a comprehensive perspective on how to teach children with Cerebral Palsy and other disabilities to function independently. Ms. Rose identifies techniques she found successful based on personal experience.
Hugh MacMillan Rehabilitation Centre, "Family Connection" SAYS: There are many children in this world with Cerebral Palsy who can't sit up, play or even do the simplest tasks for themselves. Colleen's daughter wasn't able to move at all and today she can do almost everything for herself.
Colleen has written a self-help book entitled "Step by Step" (real life experiences with Cerebral Palsy) to help other parents and it contains the different methods of therapy that Colleen used to help her daughter, a list of names, addresses and phone numbers of different places that she went to for help, plus all of the emotional ups and downs that families endure when dealing with a disabled loved one.
Mona Winberg, Toronto Sun SAYS: Because Colleen is a parent, her book contains unique observations that are applicable to Cerebral Palsy and other disabilities. Colleen's advice to other parents is to go out there and see what you can find in treatment for your child. Do therapy on a daily basis, but take the weekends off. At the end of this book is a helpful two-page list of places and addresses that Colleen sought out for assistance for her daughter.
Association for the Neurologically Disabled SAYS: Colleen Rose has written "Step by Step" (real life experiences with Cerebral Palsy) to help parents of children with Cerebral Palsy to understand what they can do, where they can go for help, how to handle discipline and how to deal with their own personal feelings.
Colleen is an inspiration to other parents and demonstrates that with continued stimulation children with Cerebral Palsy can be helped immensely.
