I think this is a great idea Ben. I seem to remember that New Mobility did the same thing 4-5 years ago with much success. Good Luck with the project. Best Wishes In a message dated 6/19/2014 2:45:22 P.M. Central Daylight Time, bmatt...@earthlink.net writes:
Hi everyone – For a book about "inter-enabled" couples (long-term relationships in which one member has a permanent disability and the other doesn't), I'm looking for sources to interview by phone and/or email. Ideally, both members of the relationship would participate, but at this point I'd be happy to interview individuals too, if necessary. Please note that I'm a quad myself, though from a genetic neurological disability, not a SCI, and I've been married to a nondisabled woman for 24 years. Issues I hope to explore include: dating caregiving reactions from your parents and friends dividing household chores parenting aging and changing health Thanks very much in advance. And please feel free to share this wherever appropriate. I think there is a good book here, and so does my agent, but I need to gather enough info to put together a solid pitch for publishers.
