Contemporary Perspectives in the Study of Families of Young Children with Disabilities: Implications for Policy and Practice.
Gavidia-Payne, Susana T.
Australian Journal of Early Childhood, v20 n4 p11-18 Dec 1995
Reviews current research about families of young children with disabilities, and raises issues related to the actual application of this knowledge at both policy and practice levels. Notes that a deficit model has guided much of the study of young children with disabilities, but that alternative conceptual perspectives, advocating a family-centered approach to service provision, have been developed.
