"Make It Just as Normal as Possible with Humor"
Rieger, Alicja
Mental Retardation: A Journal of Practices, Policy and Perspectives, v42 n6 p427-444 2004
Perspectives on humor of families who have a member with a disability were examined using a qualitative methodology. Findings offer complex and challenging lessons for those who work with and for families of children with disabilities. I compared the traditional view that families of children with disabilities go through a constant process of grieving and sadness with newly emerging views of accepting relationships and making life as typical as possible with the help of humor.
