Disabled Children Living Away from Home in Foster Care and Residential Settings Paperback / softback
Edited by Claire Burns
Part of the Mac Keith Press Practical Guides series
Paperback / softback
Description
Disabled children who are unable to live at home are doubly needy: in addition to their disability, they are deprived of normal family life.
Children who do not grow up in a stable, nurturing environment are unlikely to achieve their potential.
Moreover, disabled children often have complex medical problems.
Disabled children living away from home are often involved with many different professionals: although individually these professionals may provide appropriate support, the sum of their efforts rarely adds up to the actions of a 'good' parent.
The book considers the key issues that must be addressed when disabled children move from the family home to new accommodation.
It provides insights into the difficulties that these children face and looks at how the standards of care that they receive might be improved.
It also makes suggestions about how professionals might work more effectively with each other and with the children's care-givers.
