Synopsis

The contemporary American family has many different faces, beliefs, backgrounds, and value systems. This work combines research on families and family-centred services with practical suggestions for working successfully with caregivers, especially those whose young children are at risk or have disabilities. The text provides insights into how disability influences family life, and a guide to factors that contribute to resilience. Tips are included on communicating and collaborating effectively with families, and guidelines on understanding legislation related to educational and family support, assessment, and intervention.

Media Reviews
The integration of diversity, disability and risk is a significant step for the early intervention [field], which has often approached these areas as separate topics. In contemporary society these must be assimilated. Hanson and Lynch offer statistical, theoretical, and practical suggestions for doing so.

A whole new conceptualization of diversity. . .with major emphases on providing supports and services to families with diverse structures, diverse socioeconomic levels, and diverse life challenges. Some books break the mold and create whole new vistas of understanding. Welcome to a new vista. --Ann Turnbull, Ed.D. University of Kansas (01/01/2004)
