Building a home on phantom supports: Five attempts to give special children freedom
Kindle Edition
This book is not a guide to parenting and not a collection of methods. It is the confession of a person who found an extraordinary tool — Thematic Photobooks system — for the development of “special” children, but encountered the insurmountable wall of the world of “normal” adults.
The author takes us through five countries — from the United States to Italy — showing how the same idea repeatedly breaks against corruption, bureaucracy, professional jealousy, and human greed. It is a story about how sometimes the hardest part is not finding a way to help a child, but getting adults not to interfere with that help. It is a bitter but honest exploration of the gap between how things should be and how the world is actually arranged.
