At four, he is like many young people his age, but his Down syndrome leads most people to see him only in terms of his disability. Twenty years later, Jamie is no longer little, though he still loves the Beatles, pizza, and making lists. In Life as Jamie Knows It, Michael Berube chronicles his son's growth and his growing love of the world, writing as both a disability studies scholar and as a father. He follows Jamie through the transitions within his family and home life, through his school years, through the complicated process of entering the workforce with a disability. In a book that joins stirring memoir and sharp philosophical inquiry, Berube guides us through the labyrinth of ethical issues surrounding how we approach disability and uses Jamie's story to argue for a deeper understanding of disability that challenges us to move toward a more just, more inclusive society"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references. 600 10 $a BeÌrubeÌ, Michael, $d 1961- 600 10 $a BeÌrubeÌ, Jamie. 650 0 $a Parents of children with disabilities $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Children with mental disabilities $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a People with mental disabilities $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Down syndrome $z United States $v Case studies. 776 08 $i Online version: $a BeÌrubeÌ, Michael, 1961- author. $t Life as Jamie knows it $d Boston : Beacon Press, 2016 $z 9780807019320 $w (DLC) 2016029597. 941 $a 2 952 $l BVPE851 $d 20220728020002.0 952 $l HNPC845 $d 20171116012922.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=12FA820C8C5411E68F49799ADAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
