Reviews for Getting Ready to Help
"Marty McMorrow's new book will be helpful for clinical staff, managers and direct support professionals. He provides remarkable insight into communication, behavior and human interaction. This is a critical staff development tool." —Cathy Ficker-Terrill, President of Ray Graham Association for People with Disabilities
"McMorrow's Getting Ready to Help is much more than a primer. It is a philosophy and approach to helping people, regardless of their disabling conditions or the accompanying behaviors, with dignity and respect. Better yet, when helpers use this approach, it really works." —Kate Fralish, Ph.D., Center for Comprehensive Services, Inc.
"In my 32 years of Human Service work, this is the best book I have read that speaks directly to any worker with front line responsibility in supporting people with disabilities.... Taking focused theory, McMorrow has woven personal experiences into simple strategies for successful intervention. This is must reading for new employees or ancillary staff who relate to people with disabilities. —Al Condeluci, Ph.D., CEO, UCP of Pittsburgh
