Summary
Details

Imagine dealing with a challenge, such as chronic pain, panic attacks, or complex PTSD. How might you struggle to live your life without the assistance needed to complete daily tasks? Now, imagine that you are an adolescent juggling all of these stressors.

In Invisible Conversations: How to Use Communication to Support Those with Invisible Disabilities, author Alexandra Guillot answers these questions and more while teaching young people with invisible disabilities how to effectively communicate their needs. Combining research, interviews from individuals with various conditions, and personal experience, Guillot explains what is needed to live well despite these physical challenges.

Invisible Conversations will show you how to:

Be your own advocate Explain your concerns to your health professional Communicate your needs to your school or work Initiate conversations about your disability on your own terms Find resources created to support you

If you or someone you care for is frustrated with understanding, explaining, or discussing a condition, this book is a must-read for those with disabilities and their allies.
