Help and Hope for Parents of Atypical Children Foreword by Daniel J. Siegel, MD. With compassion, clarity, and an emphasis on practical solutions, Dr. Rita Eichenstein's book walks readers through the five stages of acceptance (similar to the stages of grief, but modified for parents of special-needs kids). Using vivid anecdotes and suggestions, she helps readers understand their own emotional experience, nurture themselves in addition to their kids, identify and address relationship wounds including tension in a marriage and struggles with children (special-needs and neurotypical), and embrace their child with acceptance, compassion and joy. Renowned in the field of child development, Rita Eichenstein, Ph.D., is a noted psychologist and pediatric neuropsychologist, specializing in learning disabilities, attention deficit disorders, autism spectrum, twice exceptional students and giftedness, in children, teens, as well as college students, graduate students and adults.
