Download or read book Children with Developmental Disabilities written by S Venkatesan and published by SAGE. This book was released on 2004-03-20 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Disability is the functional inability of an individual to perform any activity in the manner or within the range considered `normal'. These are relatively permanent conditions and in most cases can be tackled only by early intervention and long-term therapy. The accurate diagnosis of a child with a disorder is an important prelude to planning the right programme for intervention and rehabilitation. The book is intended for early identification of such developmental problems in infants and pre-school children. It covers a wide range of impairments, disabilities and handicaps commonly seen in young children. It is meant to enable parents to appreciate their manifestations, prevalence and characteristics. The book recognizes the importance of home-based programmes and contains lists of more than 400 activities as non-formal curriculum for young children. It carries broad guidelines on how to train children for these activities at home or pre-school settings. This book will be of great help to parents and trainers who are searching for suggestions from professionals on not only what training to impart to these children, but also how to train them at low cost and within their home settings. The book also serves as a reference guide for students of disability management or rehabilitation sciences. All teaching objectives and items included in this practical guide are empirically validated and located along a hierarchical scale of developmental difficulty. They are worded in behavioural terms so that trainers can readily start working on the given goals for behaviour change in the children. This book is meant for students and professionals in the field of rehabilitation services for disabled, general or special education programmes, parents of pre-school children, those who run play schools or crèches, non-formal educators, speech therapists, occupational therapists, physiotherapists and paediatricians.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Early Education for Children with Down Syndrome is intended as a reference, as a textbook, and as a manual for parents, teachers, and other professionals who wish to accelerate the development of children with Down syndrome or with other developmental delays.This updated version is the outgrowth of my 32 years involvement as a teacher of infants and young children with Down syndrome, and my personal experience as the developer and coordinator of the Model Program for Children with Down Syndrome at the Experimental Education Unit, Center on Human Development and Disability, University of Washington, in Seattle, Washington.The manual gives the reader practical and specific techniques to use in a program of early intervention. The exercises and activities are based upon what is currently known about child development. Moreover, these procedures were the backbone of the model program that has been so successful in accelerating the mental, physical, social, and language performance of children with Down syndrome.A program of early intervention, or any educational program for that matter, must be more than a mechanical adherence to a prescribed set of procedures. It must have the human element of warmth and gentleness, and a deep and tender caring for each child's uniqueness and human potential. Such a loving approach enables the parent or teacher to view a child's developmental deficits realistically but without frustration, and to recognize each gain in development, however small, with satisfaction and delight.
