Product Description:
This book examines how families cope, adapt, and
grow through the challenges of living with a
child with a disability and how family members
nurture and support the child?s developmental journey
to adulthood. This fully revised and updated second
edition addresses topics important to understanding
families from a historical perspective, supporting them
in the present, and preparing them for future challenges.
Subsequent chapters present the particular
issues faced by individuals with disabilities and their
families at each of the life stages as well as ideas on
how to provide effective and appropriate support.
