Seller's Description:
Very good in very good dust jacket. Sewn and glued binding. Leatherette over boards with cloth spine. Dust cover. 9.25", 272 pages, Index, bibliography Families with children who have disabilities are just like other families; however, having a special child thrusts them into a situation that may make their lives very difficult. How do "ordinary" families respond to this extraordinary event-and how is their response shaped by the social world in which they live? This book demonstrates how to apply a systems approach to assessment, and includes a family needs assessment instrument which will help professionals be more responsive to the requirements of the recent Education of the Handicapped Act Amendments. It also describes specific individual, group, and family interventions. A unique in-depth exploration of the effect of a disabled child has on the family throughout the life cycle is included, as well as chapters on how the child affects siblings, fathers, grandparents, and the family as a system. "This book should be required reading for all who work with children with disabilities and their families. The authors have captured the essence of complex family precesses, including crucial cultural and ethnic variations, and have offered a systems perspective that both respects family resources and directs the reader to effective interventions."-Evan Imber-Black, Ph.D., Director, Family and Group Studies Program, Albert Einstein College of Medicine
