Writing from her own experience as a parent of a special needs child and with the background of both a therapist and educator, the author presents a most readable text discussing developmental disabilities; emotional and intellectual challenges; neurological disabilities; viral, bacterial, and infectious diseases; premature birth and other newborn complications; genetic and physical impairments; communication and learning disorders; attention deficit disorders; movement disorders; affective disorders; and choosing to adopt a child with special needs. Another area of emphasis is in seeking help and resources for children with special needs, including who to go to in the school setting, how the Individuals with Disabilities Act works, how IEPs are developed, and how inclusional school settings work for the child with special needs. Special features include stories and personal accounts throughout the text from parents who have dealt with special needs of differently-abled children. Many helpful resources are provided, including state-by-state listings of support groups and private agencies assisting families of children with special needs, national organizations, special education resources, reading resources for both adults and children, software and media resources, resources for adaptive equipment and toys, and adoption resources. The primary audience for the book includes parents, educators, social workers, healthcare and mental health professionals, and others who work with children who have special needs and challenges.
