Helping the Handicapped Teenager Mature will find its way to the shelves of the local public library. Parents and others will read it in search of hope and guidance. For this reason, health professionals should be familiar with this volume.

The first seven chapters, and a later one entitled Sex, outline adolescent development as hampered by disability. Special railings to increase mobility and pulleys to allow hanging up one's own clothes, as well as other suggestions to facilitate independence at home, are discussed in three subsequent chapters.
