Long Island Press Editor Releases Book and Launches Nonprofit
Robbie Woliver tells AAN News via email that Alphabet Kids - From ADD to Zellweger Syndrome: A Guide to Developmental, Neurobiological and Psychological Disorders for Parents and Professionals was "the book I could have used 15
years ago." Inspired by his own child, he chose to write the book to "provide a road map for parents to help them muddle through the
alphabet soup of diagnoses so many children are receiving these
days -- many of which are incorrect." In the course of researching and writing, Woliver says he and his wife became inspired to start a nonprofit called Your Day Away that provides a day of respite and support for parents of children with special needs. The nonprofit kicked off in November, and will run as a daily ongoing organization starting next month.
