| Summary: | Provides a pragmatic approach to helping children with disabilities, chronic illness, and developmental delays that empowers families, builds on competencies and resilience, and has an empirical basis. The program focuses on the larger systems that support the child and describes how to meet the needs of children and their families while enhancing collaboration among services providers. This book draws from and integrates a diverse theoretical, empirical, and applied literature from psychology, early childhood education, early childhood special education, child development, maternal and child health, child life, neonatology, developmental and behavioral pediatrics, allied health and related services, bioethics, public policy, management, leadership, and organization development. The fundamental tents of best practices in early intervention are interwoven throughout the chapters. Each chapter includes conceptual formulations, contextual factors, clinical and policy implications, and recommendations for empirical investigations. Case studies and clinical scenarios also are presented to illustrate application and integration of concepts. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2004 APA, all rights reserved). |
