Families in Context by Carpenter, Barry - 1997

UK: David Fulton Publishers, 1997. Paperback. Very Good. 0.7 x 5.7 x 8.9 inches. Recent approaches in Early Intervention have recognised the need for the family to be at the heart of effective practice. this book seeks to share these approaches as many professions working with families with children with special educational needs and disabilities begin to re-examine their practice. The authors: examine the context of the family itself and the role of key family members such as mothers, fathers, siblings and grandparents. look at developing practice in Europe, America and Australia, as well as the United Kingdom. assess the role of research in relation to Early Intervention practice.
