Hi! Ruth Floresca here. This blog’s name, “Embracing Disability This Ability,” originally is the title of a book I wrote that shares the trials and triumphs of our family in raising and loving Gideon James, my son diagnosed with cerebral palsy. You can read the introduction section and also download Chapter 1 of the book, here.
Like the book’s purpose, this blog aims to inspire, encourage, and share tips and resources to other families going through the same journey. It is also our prayer that our posts would likewise foster a better understanding and compassion for the special needs community.
