Produktbeschreibung

Around 12% of school children are disabled from birth defects, accidents, illnesses, or other causes. This means that 700 children who need special care are born each day, and the number appears to be growing. "Raising a Handicapped Child" offers a practical and reassuring guide for parents who care for these children. The book includes advice on how to find the best professional help, how to keep up with the latest medical treatments, how to cope with the costs of medical treatment, how to select educational programs that are geared to specific disabilities and are designed to fulfill a handicapped child's greatest potential, and how parents and family can help themselves and each other.

Still the only handbook of its kind to discuss both the emotional and physical problems of raising a child with a disability, this guide offers complete, practical, and reassuring advice for parents who care for these children.
