An inspiring author, Dorothy Fickenscher writes her own story about how she raised her twins with special needs. The infinite possibilities of living a rich and full life despite a diagnosis of a developmental disability and the challenges in healthcare and the educational system are described in “The Right to a Full Life,” published by Authors Press.

Ms. Fickenscher's story is a message of hope and an inspiring example of how to view things from a calm and positive perspective. She consistently cultivates important life skills for her children that lead to the development of greater self-sufficiency. Her story shows how a parent plays a significant role in a child's life and can help develop the supports that help the child move into his/her own place in the community as an adult.
