Description
The contemporary American family has many different faces, beliefs, backgrounds, and value systems. This work combines research on families and family-centred services with practical suggestions for working successfully with caregivers, especially those whose young children are at risk or have disabilities. The text provides insights into how disability influences family life, and a guide to factors that contribute to resilience. Tips are included on communicating and collaborating effectively with families, and guidelines on understanding legislation related to educational and family support, assessment, and intervention.
