I remember reading that book in high school. That, and A circle of Children are what made me want to work with Special needs kids. Reality was sadly nothing like I expected, but those and other books have a special place in my heart.
Loving Lamposts is a good documentary on Netflix.
And, another book that is really good is
"Let Me Hear your voice".
