The Impact of Childhood Disability: The Parent's Struggle

Dr. Moses is a psychologist who has devoted himself to helping people deal with crisis, trauma and loss. He has faced deaths, life threatening illness, disabilities, and other major traumas in his own family and life. He continues to help people sort out their lives after experiencing loss and struggles with the same issues himself.

"I was taught that the way to deal with adversity or pain was to "tough it out...After working with parents of the impaired for many years, I have come to believe that I was given bad advice. I have come to believe that pain is the solution, not the problem." Ken Moses, Ph.D.
