About this title

Synopsis

Development and Disabilities offers the first "multi-disability" developmental approach to children with mental retardation, deafness, blindness and motor impairments. The book is divided into three sections. Section 1 describes the organismic and contextual aspects of modern-day developmental approaches, along with such historical precursors as Werner, Piaget, and Vygotsky. Section 2 examines the most interesting aspects of development in each of the four disabilities. For each of these disabilities, the author describes studies related to child development, mother-child interaction, and family work. Section 3 draws theoretical and applied implications from these disabilities. The book notes both similarities and differences in development across disabilities, with the aim of better research and intervention. This book will be of interest to a wide range of researchers and practitioners concerned with the development of children with disabilities.

Book Description

Development and Disabilities offers the first 'multi-disability' approach to children with mental retardation, deafness, blindness and motor impairments. After describing 'development' as both the child's own advances and changes-interactions with parents and families, this book examines the most exciting research on the development of children with these four disabilities. The final section then draws together these diverse findings, showing how development in mental retardation, deafness, blindness, and motor impairments is both 'the same and different', leading to important implications for researchers, family members, and practitioners.
