"Talk, Tools, and Texts explores how writers and writing grows and changes through the lifespan, drawing on relevant research in literacy, education, writing studies, sociology, psychology, and ethnomethodology. It makes a case for the value of lifespan writing research; provides a logic-in-use for examining literate action at different points in the lifespan so that the material, situated work of literate action development can be identified and traced; and applies this logic to the study of eleven writers at different points in the lifespan. This logic is then proposed as a foundational infrastructure for building coherent middle-range theories of lifespan literate action development, and to provide new insight into research on writing transfer and writing development"--

As the veil of denial is slowly lifted, author Michele Gianetti faces up to the fact that something is terribly wrong with her beautiful baby Elizabeth.She never once asks God why; rather she trusts in Him to show her the way and give her the strength to fight for little Elizabeth in every way possible.Join her in I Believe In You as she travels a road unfamiliar to most parents, into Elizabeth's world, the world of dyspraxia and sensory processing disorder, and meet the wonderful group of individuals, both therapists and friends, who help her on her journey. Her devotion to Elizabeth proves there are some things that withstand even the greatest challenge: a mother's love and the words 'I believe in you.''...Sensory processing disorder is a family affair, not 'just' a challenge that affects children. Nowhere is this message more clear and poignant than in Michele Gianetti's new book, I Believe In You. Elizabeth is the child-protagonist, a resilient champion who eventually finds priceless and effective care, but no one is more devoted or steadfast than her mother, who advocates relentlessly for her baby...then for her big girl.'
