A Guide to Education for Children with Osteogenesis Imperfecta. What Is OIF? Care of an Osteogenesis Imperfecta Baby and Child.
Ostegenesis Imperfecta Foundation, Inc., Manchester, NH.
Three pamphlets provide basic information on the care and education of children with osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) a lifelong liability to fractures due to imperfectly formed "brittle bones." The first brochure, a guide to education for children with OI, addresses the importance of attitudes, the value of early education, public school enrollment, due process, individualized education programs, classroom adjustment, and college attendance. The second brochure describes the development and functions of the Osteogenesis Imperfecta Foundation, Inc., a voluntary national health organization. The final pamphlet provides suggestions for the care of babies and children with OI and answers questions about such aspects as home management, clothing, food, first aid, and day to day care for children wearing a body cast. Information on helpful equipment and toys concludes the pamphlet. (CL)
