Abled: Same But Different, by Cathleen Morita

The genetic disorder EBF3-HADDS was only identified a few years ago, but there is already a children's book that features a child with HADDS.  Chase was one of the first kids diagnosed.  His mother Cathleen Morita has written about Chase in a new children's book Abled: Same But Different.

By showing bits and pieces of Chase's life and experiences, she shows that he's a little boy like so many little boys, and loves to do the same things many little boys like to do, but he does things differently and experiences things differently.  The cute illustrations show him at home in Hawaii, enjoying the beach, his dog, and many different activities.

Abled is a great resource for kids with HADDS and other disabilities, as well as their care providers, teachers, and families, to get a glimpse into life with HADDS.  What a joy for a child with this newly diagnosed, rare disorder to see, in storybook form, a child with the same diagnosis he or she has!

My daughter is delighted to read a book about a child
who has the same diagnosis she has!
