Description
This book is based on the findings of a qualitative study of 24 families who each had two or more severely disabled children.
Family life was explored, and particular difficulties, needs and strategies for managing day-to-day care were identified.
With 'practice points' at the end of each chapter, this book will make informative reading for social services and health professionals, teachers and others working with disabled children and their families, as well as for those planning services and making policies which impact on them.
