Children with Developmental Disabilities by S Venkatesan Pdf
Disability is the functional inability of an individual to perform any activity in the manner or within the range considered `normal'. These are relatively permanent conditions and in most cases can be tackled only by early intervention and long-term therapy. The accurate diagnosis of a child with a disorder is an important prelude to planning the right programme for intervention and rehabilitation. The book is intended for early identification of such developmental problems in infants and pre-school children. It covers a wide range of impairments, disabilities and handicaps commonly seen in young children. It is meant to enable parents to appreciate their manifestations, prevalence and characteristics. The book recognizes the importance of home-based programmes and contains lists of more than 400 activities as non-formal curriculum for young children. It carries broad guidelines on how to train children for these activities at home or pre-school settings. This book will be of great help to parents and trainers who are searching for suggestions from professionals on not only what training to impart to these children, but also how to train them at low cost and within their home settings. The book also serves as a reference guide for students of disability management or rehabilitation sciences. All teaching objectives and items included in this practical guide are empirically validated and located along a hierarchical scale of developmental difficulty. They are worded in behavioural terms so that trainers can readily start working on the given goals for behaviour change in the children. This book is meant for students and professionals in the field of rehabilitation services for disabled, general or special education programmes, parents of pre-school children, those who run play schools or crèches, non-formal educators, speech therapists, occupational therapists, physiotherapists and paediatricians.

Everything No One Tells You About Parenting a Disabled Child by Kelley Coleman Pdf
The honest, relatable, actionable roadmap to the practicalities of parenting a disabled child, featuring personal stories, expert interviews, and the foundational information parents need to know about topics including diagnosis, school, doctors, insurance, financial planning, disability rights, and what life looks like as a parent caregiver. For parents of disabled children, navigating the systems, services, and supports is a daunting, and often overwhelming, task. No one explains to parents how to figure out the complex medical, educational, and social service systems essential to their child’s success. Over and over, parents are being asked to reinvent the exact same wheels. According to the CDC, “Every 4 ½ minutes a baby is born with a birth defect in the United States.” That’s 1 in 33. There’s no handbook for how to do this. Until now. Presented with empathy and humor, Everything No One Tells You About Parenting a Disabled Child: Your Guide to the Essential Systems, Services, and Supports gives parents the tools to conquer the stuff, so that they can spend less time filling out forms, and more time loving their children exactly as they are. With over a decade of experience navigating these systems for her own child, author Kelley Coleman presents key information, templates, and wisdom alongside practical advice from over 40 experts, covering topics such as diagnosis, working with your medical team, insurance, financial planning, disability rights and advocacy, and individualized education plans. Everything No One Tells You About Parenting a Disabled Child gives parents the tools they need to stop wasting unnecessary time, money, and stress. If you need to know how to actually do the things, this book is for you.
Toddler Day Care by Robin Lynn Leavitt,Brenda Krause Eheart Pdf
"Between the ages of one and three, children go through a distinct stage that every parent knows well--toddlerhood. Primarily concerned with themselves and their immediate worlds, toddlers present special needs to their caregivers. This book outlines a responsive, nondirective approach to help professionals with this unique developmental stage. The authors' approach is child-centered, focusing on the need to let children be themselves in as natural and individual a way as possible, rather than stressing preschool academic achievement. Responsive caregiving--adjusting to the specific needs of the children--requires as much knowledge of psychology, sociology, education, and medicine as directive caregiving. But in addition, the responsive caregiver needs a rarer, higher skill: an ability to follow the toddler's lead."--Back cover.

Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities by Briana S. Nelson Goff,Nicole Piland Springer Pdf
Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities provides a unique contribution not currently available in the professional literature by addressing the experiences and perspectives of families living with or raising a child with a disability. Designed for family therapists, social workers, and other helping professionals, it provides empirically-based, practical information for working with families experiencing intellectual and developmental disabilities of a loved one. This book also provides important information for navigating the various professional systems of care with which these families interface: health care providers, early childhood intervention teams, educational systems, the legal system, and financial planners.
Addressing the often hidden, yet not uncommon, behaviour of faecal smearing among children and adults with autism and developmental and intellectual disabilities, this practical handbook shows how to tackle this often embarrassing and difficult issue in a positive way. Informing parents and caregivers of the many causes of smearing, the author offers tried-and-tested, everyday approaches for managing this behaviour. This supportive guidebook includes down-to-earth advice, helpful picture narratives, examples of how to prepare and use diary sheets for behaviour analysis, and practical exercises that can be carried out at home. There is also advice on what to do if a child ingests faeces, and dealing with persistent or recurring smearing. With a focus on positive low-arousal responses and featuring the voices of parents who have experience of their child's smearing, families will feel supported and confident in identifying the causes of smearing, and be able to choose and carry out appropriate preventative approaches. This will also be a useful resource for professionals who encounter smearing behaviour, including social workers and SEN and teaching staff.
The Parent's Notebook by Susan E Rosano Ma,Susan Rosano Pdf
The Parent's Notebook offers opportunities for parents, siblings, caregivers, friends and other important family members to learn new ways of managing challenges related to raising a child with developmental disabilities and special health care needs. Surprisingly, there are very few books that are specifically written to help parents, who often find themselves struggling, and suffering alone, without the benefit of camaraderie, connection, and understanding. So I offer my stories, opinions, and resolutions to you in the hope of bridging this chasm. Parents and families should know they are not alone, that others feel similarly, and that there are solutions to the difficult situations we all encounter. The circumstances I have written about in The Parent's Notebook include the following: An unexpected future and how to come to terms with this; the overwhelming feeling of uncertainty about what, if anything, is really wrong with our child; wanting to be understood by family, friends and the general public and realizing that this is not the case; family balance and handling increased demands of medical and educational processes; the loss of the feeling of being a "typical" family; losing family privacy when in-home supports arrive with their curious lack of boundaries; the difficulties of comparing one child to another and the outcome of that; feeling victimized by the circumstances of having a child with special needs; having to advocate for your child, family and yourself through the medical and educational systems; protecting yourself from fraud and impatient purchases that you think will solve a big problem for your child. The writing and arts activities in this book are based in Creative Arts Therapy. I became a Creative Arts Therapist after receiving my Masters Degree from Wesleyan University in 2003 and used Creative Arts-endorsed activities for years to help me work through personal struggles. My favorite activity was writing and drawing in my notebook every day. It gave me the ability to release my feelings in a productive manner and turn emotional turmoil into an art project. In this book, you will find guidelines for writing and drawing in a notebook along with suggestions on how to begin. More Creative Arts activities are listed at the end, with instructions, objectives for each project, plus supplies needed. And the best part? These activities are actually fun to do and offer lasting benefits for the whole family. The larger message in this book is that raising Christian filled my life with significance; something beyond ordinary life. He showed his love and happy spirit to everyone he came in contact with. He was a person overflowing with love. I encourage readers to write about their child's significance in their life and the lives of others that are in contact with that child on a daily basis, remembering that their child is a gift to them and this gift is theirs to love and appreciate.
