"A refreshing new voice living with learning differences the author
uses a "Dear Abby" format as a handbook, incorporating humor,
insight, and sensitivity in her direct answers to the myriad
questions posed by her peers and their parents. Diana shows a
remarkable talent for understanding their daily, practical living
needs and experiences." -- Newton M. Schiller, EdD "Private
practice"
"Diana has worked hard to develop her independent living skills and
has written a wonderful book in which she shares her knowledge. She
writes with an insider's view of the issues that need to be
addressed as the child with special needs moves toward adulthood.
The format is engaging and accessible, and the book covers many
topics that are relevant to the development of adult life skills.
This book will be helpful to young adults, their parents, teachers,
and counselors. I recommend it highly." -- Linda S. Podd, PhD

"Diana Bilezikian's Guide to Independent Living for Young Adults
With Special Needs is an important contribution for all young
adults, but especially those with special needs. Its style makes
readers feel that they are part of the conversation, which is an
important characteristic of any self-help book. The real importance
of this book, however, is the fact it is not written by a so-called
authority in the field. Instead, it relies on the experiences of a
person who has actually 'been there and done that.'" -- Eugene G.
Sander, PhD "University of Arizona"
