Why Read It?
The book “I Can’t Feel My Pulse” is Dr. Shafer’s story of students that have gone through severe stress because they simply don’t fit in the current education system. Our current education system is designed in a way that the special need’s child stands out as an anomaly. We need to be more empathetic towards such students and treat them as equal members of the society.
