People with disabilities
are one of the largest groups in the United States - about 58 million Americans are
members of this community. To live independently, many people with physical,
sensory, or cognitive disabilities hire a personal attendant to assist
with day-to-day tasks. Finding a qualified caregiver can be challenging,
but not impossible.
Written by an inspiring speaker, writer
and advocate who is herself disabled, The Personal Care Attendant
Guide teaches readers how to find a competent caregiver. It also
gives current and prospective attendants vital information and real-life
examples to help them succeed in this demanding
work environment.
Special features include:
Easy-to-use forms and worksheets to make
searching easier and more organized
Personal stories from people with disabilities
who use attendants to maintain their
independence
Anecdotes from experienced caregivers
Resources listed alphabetically by disability
The relationship between those who need help and those
who provide it can be difficult to balance, but it can be maintained
and even fun at times. This unique book will equip people with disabilities,
as well as those managing caregivers for family members, with the skills
to successfully find, interview, hire, train, and supervise their personal
attendants.
