Changes in family roles and routines can cause stress for parents, siblings, and extended family alike as they confront multiple issues, including behavioral problems and frequent healthcare needs. Despite such challenges, many families derive a sense of meaning from facing their difficulties in a positive way.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The book follows a developmental progression, first examining the immediate effects that a child's disability can have on his or her family and looking at the changes that occur as the child grows and faces new challenges. In doing so, the author examines studies employing a variety of methodologies, including quantitative research, meta-analyses, and qualitative methods such as narrative analysis.\u003cbr\u003e The book also describes cognitive behavioral interventions and programs that train parents to more effectively manage child behavioral problems and thereby improve family well-being.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePreface\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInitial Experience and Reactions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStress, Coping, and Growth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFamily Change and Reorganization\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMedical Issues and Medical Professionals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpecial Education, Inclusion, and Advocacy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSocial Exclusion and Social Support\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDevelopmental Disabilities Through the Life Span\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLife Challenges and Life Stories\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDeath and Bereavement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClinical Implications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConclusions and Future Directions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eReferences\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIndex\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"American Psychological Association","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52584791867672,"sku":"9781433813290","price":45.39,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/families-of-children-with-developmental-disabilities-understanding-stress-and-opportunities-for-growth-hardback-9781433813290","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
