Normal Schmormal: My occasionally helpful guide to parenting kids with special needs

English

By (author): Ashley Blaker

The heartwarming and hilarious part-memoir, part-guide from comedian and father-of-six Ashley Blaker, on parenting, adoption and raising children with special needs.

A funny, irreverent and loving book Daily Express

We had such a variety of experts visiting our home, we really needed a revolving door. All these professionals would watch our son playing while shaking their heads and making tutting sounds, like builders considering a bad job you wanted them to fix. Tut tut tut. No speech, disordered social skills, sensory issues. This is going to cost you!!

Ashley Blaker has six children, three of whom have an SEN diagnosis. Between endless meetings, countless therapists, public humiliations, failed playdates, surreal monologues and occasional violence, its certainly not what anyone would call a normal household but would he want it any other way?

Normal Schmormal is part-memoir, part how-to guide, highlighting the many challenges, as well as the hugely rewarding elements, of parenting children with additional needs. Written with humour, compassion and a lot of love, its a must-read for parents, carers and teachers of children with SEN, either looking for a bit of support or in need of a very big laugh.
