Customer Reviews
The way co-author, Jolene Philo, incorporated Dr Chapman’s five love languages into the disability community is a masterpiece. I really appreciate how many families put their time and effort into sharing what worked for their children and Dr Chapman’s astute advice to meet your child where they are at mentally.

I loved this book's practicality and perspective on showing love in special needs families. While I am not a special needs parent myself, I have some close friends who are and this is a book I will definitely be sharing with them. It is insightful, compassionate and practical. Very readable!
