This invaluable book guides people with disabilities and their families through a challenging, but by no means impossible, task: finding a qualified caregiver. Readers learn to successfully locate, interview, hire, train, and supervise a personal attendant, whether through an agency or on their own. Thorny issues like wages, taxes, and firing an attendant are also covered. Additionally, the book's real-life examples help current and prospective caregivers succeed in this demanding yet rewarding work environment.
