Description

"Developmental Disabilities" is a clinical reference for professionals working with the disabled. It uses a "best practices" approach, as well as case studies, to describe specific interventions that have proved to be effective in solving real problems as seen in actual field work. The book presents a comprehensive view of the most common developmental disabilities and the range of services necessary to work with people who have such disabilities. Each of the 17 chapters is written by an expert on the condition or services covered in that chapter.
