Opis

By examining the context of the family itself, and the role of key family members such as mothers, fathers, siblings and grandparents, this work seeks to share approaches to working with families. Through its international overview, it looks at developing practice in Europe, America and Australasia, as well as the United Kingdom. The book also looks at the role of research in relation to early intervention practice.
