Join Lynn Joffe in conversation with Lara Nathan about her book 'Jamie Shai and His Superpower', which is based on her son Jamie who has cerebral palsy.
Lara explains that cerebral palsy affects Jamie's muscle control, limiting his physical abilities but not his cognitive functions. Jamie communicates through an eye-tracking device and has a remarkable ability to connect with people through his smile.
Lara emphasizes the importance of seeing differently abled individuals as special and encourages interaction with them. She discusses Jamie's schooling, his relationships with siblings, and the family dynamics. Lara expresses her desire for the book to be shared widely to promote understanding and acceptance of differently abled individuals. The interview concludes with information on where to purchase the book and how to contact Lara directly.
