linical psychologist and edu-
cator Stanley Klein, Ph.D.,
does not know what it is
like to be the parent of a
child with a disability.
So when this Boston author wanted
to publish a book on parenting chil-
dren with disabilities, he went right to
the experts.
Klein's book, You Will Dream New

Dreams: Inspiring Personal Stories by
Parents of Children with Disabilities
(Kensington; $13), is a collection of
64 essays from parents of children
with disabilities or special health-care
needs — including pieces by fathers,
who, according to Klein, "sometimes
get left behind."
In compiling the material for the
book, Klein and co-editor Kim Schive
asked parents of children with disabili-
ties to tell the stories they wish they
could have been told when they first
learned of their children's disabilities.
Although the parent-authors of
these short essays have had different
experiences, Klein said the stories they
tell send a similar message.
The title, Klein said, came from a
common theme he saw among the hun-
dreds of essays submitted.
"During pregnancy, hopes, dreams
and expectations are built up, but these
dreams are shattered when parents hear
the diagnosis of a disability or special
health-care need."

The message he hopes parents will
take away from reading the book is that
the feelings a parent experiences upon
learning about a child's disability are all
part of a normal range of emotions.
"Many parents and professionals
have suggested that the diagnosis of a
child's disability initiates a mourning
process in parents, much like the grief
felt when a child dies. Yet the child is
alive and parenting must proceed," said
Klein. (He began working with chil-
dren with disabilities nearly 50 years
ago when he was a camp counselor.)
Although the book is geared toward
new parents, Klein said it goes beyond
new parenting issues. A range of par-
ents will find the book useful in cop-
ing with the stresses of parenting a
special-needs child, he said.
When he speaks at Book Fair, Klein
will moderate a panel discussion with
authors of the essays. Book Fair organ-
izers say this is the first time the event
has had a special-needs component.
Klein is in the process of planning
his next book, a collection of essays
written by adults with disabilities for
parents of adult and future-adult chil-
dren with disabilities.

— Jennifer Lovy

Stanley Klein, Ph.D., will present and
moderate a panel discussion with parents
whose essays appear in his book 11 a.m.
Sunday, Nov. 18, at the Jewish
Community Center in West Bloomfield.
