This is the story of one family's 35 year experience with a profound developmental disability. This extraordinary journey has changed their view of the world, rearranged priorities and transformed their lives. Scott has Angelman Syndrome, a genetic aberration of the 15th chromosome. He has never spoken a single word in his life and virtually all aspects of daily living are dramatically impacted by his condition. While his cognitive and physical challenges are immense, there resides within this incomparable young man a God given capacity to love and be loved. In his unique way, he has changed the world by opening the hearts and minds of those who come within his orbit. His gift to the world is his ability to make those around him better and more productive human beings. Is there a greater calling?

I spent the bulk of my professional career in the field of parks an community services, the last twenty two years as Director of Parks and Community Services for the City of Bellevue, Washington. The Bellevue Park system, in my humble opinion, is unprecedented and a model for all evolving suburban and edge city park systems. Following this public service stint, I spent seven years as a consultant to a number of city, county and not-for-profit organizations. The last five years have focused on writing books and articles pertaining to urban parks, park systems, land conservation and developmental disabilities.

My wife and I adopted two children, including a son who is now 38 years old and diagnosed with Angelman Syndrome, a genetic disorder associated with the 15th chromosome. He is non verbal and requires 24/7 oversight.

My writing is focused almost exclusively on parks, conservation and issues pertaining to the developmentally disabled. I sincerely hope that the books and blog posts related to these issues are of some genuine value to the reader.

Would recommend to anyone in the education field

Reviewed in the United States on January 26, 2017

Verified Purchase

This book is heart-touching. It really exhibits and elaborates on the idea that people should not be defined by their disabilities. Would recommend to anyone in the education field, or families who have children with developmental delays/disabilities. This book provides a lot of many meaningful, important lessons, suggestions and necessary tips to stay hopeful, happy and proud.
