Pages : 196
Book Description
The last fifteen years have witnessed the extraordinary evolution of basic and clinical research in the field of lysoso-mal storage diseases (LSDs), transforming many of them from dire, untreatable progressive diseases to conditions that allow for possible cure or mitigation. In addition to the presently employed techniques of haematopoietic stem cell transplantation and enzyme replacement for a number of lysoso-mal storage diseases, other therapeutic approaches are being developed that are based on different principles. The awareness that the efficacy of treatment is greater if adminis-tered at the first signs of disease or, even better, during the pre-symptomatic phase underscores the urgency of early clinical diagnosis. Efforts are being made to improve the clinical acumen of paediatricians, paediatric surgeons and neurologists, rheumatologists, orthopaedists, and other professionals who come into early contact with children with LSDs. The possibility of including some of these disorders in routine neonatal screening is also a matter of discussion. This volume provides an updated overview of epidemiologic, biochemical, genetic, pathogenetic, and clinical aspects of these disorders and outlines the various treatment options currently available for the LSDs. The need for patients with rare diseases like LSDs to be followed-up in a specialised centre is emphasised in view of the many kinds of multidisciplinary treatment that are needed to improve the quality of life and survival of these children.

Transitioning Persons with Moderate and Severe Disabilities from School to Adulthood
Author: Jill D. WheelerPublisher:
ISBN:
Category : Handicapped youth
Languages : en
Pages : 100
Book Description
This book is intended to assist anyone who is interested in the quality of life afforded persons with moderate and severe disabilities, including educators, residential providers, vocational rehabilitation personnel, social staff, parents, and advocates. The first section, which deals with the reasons why transition is needed, covers the following topics: major federal legislation addressing transition services provided under the auspices of special and vocational education and vocational rehabilitation, legislation and initiatives versus practice, ways of narrowing the gap between theory and practice, the role of transition services as the missing link between education and adulthood, and components of the transition model (residential environment, employment, and social and interpersonal networks). The second chapter examines ways of helping moderately and severely disabled persons increase their productivity, independence, and participation in the community and workplace. It includes information on high school programs, curriculum development models, integrated school systems, and community-based instruction. The third chapter covers the "players" and procedures entailed in planning the transition process, including the core transition team and methods of individualizing and evaluating the process. The array of available residential, vocational, recreation/leisure, and community-at-large services is described in the next chapter, which deals with the outcomes of the transition process. Finally, process and product/outcome barriers are addressed in a concluding chapter on barriers to transition planning. Appendixes include a parent/guardian transition questionnaire, follow-up survey, and format for organizing individual transition objectives. (MN)
