Description
This comprehensive guide to developmental approaches for children with disabilities offers a unique "multi-disability" perspective. The book explores the similarities and differences in development across four key impairments: mental retardation, deafness, blindness, and motor impairments.
Divided into three sections, the book examines the latest research on child development, mother-child interaction, and family work for each of these disabilities. It also draws theoretical and applied implications from these areas, highlighting potential benefits for researchers and practitioners working with children with disabilities.
This in-depth resource is ideal for anyone seeking a nuanced understanding of developmental approaches for children with diverse needs, including researchers, practitioners, and families affected by disability.
