Synopsis "Andy & me"
Andy and Me: A Life for My Disabled Son is an inspiring story about one family s experience dealing with disability. After inappropriate treatment of author Barbara O Donnell s baby boy, Andy, he suffered a series of debilitating conditions leaving him seriously disabled for life. Barbara didn t give up. What began was a commitment to ensure, come what may, that Andy would be given the best chance to live as normal a life as possible. The book tells the story of how Barabara and her other children at first lived with Andy in seriously challenging circumstances. As he grew, Andy was placed in various special schools while Barbara ensured that these organisations and their staff understood the unique features of Andy s condition and how these might erupt into all sorts of extreme behaviours at any time, putting everyone involved at risk. After a significant financial settlement, the family developed a life for Andy built around an organisation they created to care for him as an adult and then others with serious special disability needs. All the while, the family dealt with the cost-driven culture of the Social Services bureaucracy winning important disputes as Barbara O Donnell s dogged attitude ensured the protection of what she, her family and their support team had created. Andy and Me: A Life for My Disabled Son will inspire families with disabled people and those carers who provide valuable support and care in the disabled community, sending out a message that all is not lost and that much can be achieved successfully even in the most challenging situations.
