Nurturing the Families of Chronically Ill or Disabled Children

Resource Type

Video - Parent

Description

"This tape features a lecture by Michael Trout mixed with video segments from interviews with parents and their children who have a disability. The tape focuses attention on the array of survival skills employed by families who have a sick or disabled child. When families successfully marshal resources on their own--and their child's--behalf, their goals may or may not turn out to be the same as those of professionals. The spirit of P.L. 99-457 says something must be done about this. At the very least professional behavior with families and program design can reflect an ability to see the work from the family's point of view. Developed for the training and education of early-intervention/early-education professional and health-care providers." -Child Development Media, Inc.
