"Written for undergraduate students studying to enter the industry that provides professional services for the disabled, this text begins by describing the history of disability within families including what it terms "the eugenics scare," and the growth of family-centered support services. It describes the workings of families as interactive units, their functions within economics, daily care, recreation, socialization, affection, self-esteem and education, ways families cope with the stress of having a disabled member, ways families work within the community and broader social environments, and methods professionals use in working with families. It then covers families with disabled members in early childhood, at school age, in the transition to adult life, and in adulthood, at each stage reviewing relevant support services and regulations." -- Publisher.
