Inhaltsangabe

This reference/text provides a framework for medical and nonmedical interventions to lessen the impact of developmental disabilities. Though including descriptive analysis of specific disabilities, the thrust is toward a more process-oriented approach, i.e. the general processes of cerebral dysfunction, the unevenness of dissociation, and the complex phenomenon of developmental deviance. The coverage includes developmental screening, the effects of prematurity, assessment strategies, nonstandard therapies, the interdisciplinary team process, family issues, ethics, and coping mechanisms.
