Parenting a Child with Developmental Delay

0 - Default Title
Description
Prospective adopters and carers are frequently faced with having to decide whether they can care for a child with a health need or condition they know little about and have no direct experience of. No easy task…Where can they turn for reliable information? What lies behind the diagnoses and labels that many looked after children bring with them? And what is it like to live with and care for such a child? Parenting a Child with Developmental Delay provides an explanation of developmental delay - including assessment, symptoms and prognosis - and what this term means for children.

It stresses the importance of focusing on the child as a whole person, including their personality, lifespan development, emotional well-being and life experiences, and not just the child's condition.

The strain placed on the family as a whole that living with a child with developmental delay can cause is addressed and case studies throughout provide 'real' examples of children and parents/carers living with a diagnosis.
