And Say What He Is: The Life of a Special Child

This is the story of Little John, a severely retarded child who, remarkably enough, never entirely lost his unique capacity to respond to people and whose parents, the authors (their names have been changed), never gave up on him. In narrative, diary entries, and letters, their engaging account will strike responsive chords in many parents, therapists, doctors, and teachers in special education who have been through the same or similar situations.
