A Place in the Family: An Historical Interpretation of Research on Parental Reactions To Having a Child with a Disability.
Ferguson, Philip M.
Journal of Special Education, v36 n3 p124-30,47 Fall 2002
A review of research was conducted on family reactions to having a child with a disability. From this review, a conceptual framework was developed to locate major research orientations. Two new strands have emerged recently, and the review explores how these approaches can help improve linkages between families and schools. (Contains references.) (Author/CR)
