商品簡介
This evidence-based research study examines a holistic approach developed by The Spastics Society of India (now ADAPT) that marked the beginning of spastics care in India. It sheds light on a psycho-social model that brings together education and treatment for the differently abled under a social rather than a hospital setting, paving the way to inclusive education in regular schools. It is also a first-person narrative of the author's experiences as a mother, care-giver and professional, highlighting the role of family support. This book offers recommendations on improving care and a plan of scalability of this model, developed over the last 40 years. Using narratives of children, disabled adults, parents and professionals, it shares the journeys and success stories of those who came to the Society for help and training from different parts of India.
