商品簡介
Writing for social workers and students, Burke (social work, Hull U., UK), who has two disabled children, discusses assisting families of children with disabilities and their separate needs. He argues that living with a disabled child is a family issue and examines challenges faced. He draws on four research projects in exploring the theory of disability and impairment and medical and social models, the involvement of the family and impact on it, and the necessity for professionals to focus on the whole unit. He also addresses the progression from dependence to independence, the views of disabled children, and support groups. Annotation c2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
