Download or read book Parents and Young Mentally Handicapped Children written by Helen McConachie and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-01-08 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1986, this book reviews research on the role parents play in fostering the early development of children with mental handicaps. Professionals and parents must work together to give such children the chance of living as ordinary lives as possible and here, the author develops a broadly-based conceptual framework for the involvement of parents as teachers of their young handicapped children. McConachie identifies characteristics of parents which seem of particular relevance to the design and success of intervention programmes. Although written in the 1980s, this book discusses topics that are still important today.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book should be a great help for parents of a child with any handicap."--Dr. Benjamin Spock "I think parenting is probably the hardest job there is, if it is done well, and parenting a handicapped child takes immense dedication, energy, and self-knowledge. If even one of my suggestions makes your life easier or improves your child's life, then the time and energy I have put into this book will be rewarded many times over. Most of the parents of handicapped children seem to me extraordinary people, and the care and love they show their children are among the highest tributes to the human spirit."--Charlotte E. Thompson, MD Practical, complete, reassuring advice on: * Coping with tragedy: How to handle the sorrow, anger, and guilt of a devastating diagnosis or a progressive disease * Heath care: How to find the best professional help; keep up with new treatments, medications, and research; and cope with the costs * Education and development: How to select educational programs that are geared to specific disabilities and designed to fulfill your child's greatest potential in adolescence * Family and friends: How parents can help themselves and each other, how to help siblings adjust, and what to tell well-meaning friends and relatives * Fun for handicapped kids: A comprehensive guide to places that are accessible to handicapped children "An accessible and sensitively written handbook."--Boston Herald
