Sleep Better!: A Guide to Improving Sleep for Children with Special Needs
Author: Vincent Mark Durand
When children have recurrent sleep problems, they and their families must deal with negative effects on behavior, mood, social interactions, physical stamina, and performance at school or work. This book offers step-by-step, "how to" instructions for helping children with disabilities get the rest they need. For problems ranging from bedtime tantrums to night waking, parents and caregivers will find a variety of widely tested and easy-to-implement techniques that have already helped hundreds of children with special needs — especially children with autism, Tourette syndrome, and cerebral palsy.
Written by a psychologist who was inspired by many sleepless nights with his own child, this book delivers proven techniques from the author's clinical and personal experience, making it a one-of-a-kind resource for families and professionals.

Hiding under the Table
Author: Dennis Henning
$300 a day food habit, 300 laxatives a day, prostitution. These are a few of the ways Dennis Henning numbered himself to deal with his "silent killer," an eating disorder. This is the raw, uncompromising account of a man who suffered from an eating disorder, and how for years, the medical establishment would not take his anguish seriously because he was a male. This is his true and unfiltered story, from the evolution of his crushing addictions to how he finally recognized that he had to take responsibility for his own recovery.
