About the Course:

This course is recommended for health care professionals, especially psychologists, counselors, social workers, and nurses who provide services to or seek knowledge for parents and clinicians who work with children and developmental disabilities to increase understanding and maximize potential. Whether unfamiliar or familiar with some of the concepts involved in this material, you can benefit from information in this course. The authors integrate their award-winning research and clinical experience into a definitive guide to raising a child with special needs. In this essential work they lay out a complete, step-by-step approach for parents, educators, and others who work with developmental problems. Covering all kinds of disabilities—including autism, PDD, language and speech problems, Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, and ADHD—the authors offer a new understanding of the nature of these challenges and specific ways of helping all special needs children reach their full intellectual and emotional potential.
