Book Description
The majority of self-concept and sociometric research on crippled children has been comparative studies in which the disabled child has been a minority member within a group of physically normal children. This study takes a different avenue in that it investigated the self-concept and peer reputation of physically handicapped children when they are integrated with similarly handicapped peers. Self-concept was defined as an individual's perceptions, beliefs, and feelings about himself, resulting from social and environmental experiences. It is generally believed that body-image is an important component of self-concept and that a crippling condition may cause peer group rejection. The hypotheses for this study were formulated in terms of these theoretical implications. The peer reputation scores are regarded as a criterion measure of adjustment. To add further dimension, an attempt was also made in this study to investigate the effect of a physical disability on specific areas of restriction such as inability to speak or walk. Subjects for the study were 28 moderately to severely handicapped children ranging in age from 10 to 16 and who were enrolled in special classes for the physically handicapped. Their disabilities were neuro-motor in nature. Data were gathered by the use of three rating scales which could be used without special adaptation by these subjects, who had extreme difficulty in writing and speaking. The self-concept scale was that devised by Lipsett (1958), the Peer Nomination Inventory Scale was that constructed by Wiggins and Winder (1961) and the Physical Rating Scale was formulated by the author to measure the degree of disability. Physical ratings were made by the teachers and physical therapists.

Book Description
Decades of research have demonstrated that the parent-child dyad and the environment of the familyâ€"which includes all primary caregiversâ€"are at the foundation of children's well- being and healthy development. From birth, children are learning and rely on parents and the other caregivers in their lives to protect and care for them. The impact of parents may never be greater than during the earliest years of life, when a child's brain is rapidly developing and when nearly all of her or his experiences are created and shaped by parents and the family environment. Parents help children build and refine their knowledge and skills, charting a trajectory for their health and well-being during childhood and beyond. The experience of parenting also impacts parents themselves. For instance, parenting can enrich and give focus to parents' lives; generate stress or calm; and create any number of emotions, including feelings of happiness, sadness, fulfillment, and anger. Parenting of young children today takes place in the context of significant ongoing developments. These include: a rapidly growing body of science on early childhood, increases in funding for programs and services for families, changing demographics of the U.S. population, and greater diversity of family structure. Additionally, parenting is increasingly being shaped by technology and increased access to information about parenting. Parenting Matters identifies parenting knowledge, attitudes, and practices associated with positive developmental outcomes in children ages 0-8; universal/preventive and targeted strategies used in a variety of settings that have been effective with parents of young children and that support the identified knowledge, attitudes, and practices; and barriers to and facilitators for parents' use of practices that lead to healthy child outcomes as well as their participation in effective programs and services. This report makes recommendations directed at an array of stakeholders, for promoting the wide-scale adoption of effective programs and services for parents and on areas that warrant further research to inform policy and practice. It is meant to serve as a roadmap for the future of parenting policy, research, and practice in the United States.

Book Description
‘Some years ago I read the phrase "the spontaneous revulsion to the deformed". The phrase seemed to be both potent and provocative: Was there a spontaneous revulsion to disabilities in children or did such conditions evoke a more compassionate response?’ Originally published in 1978, the problems of the disabled were no longer confined to the medical and educational professionals, but had become the concern of the community as a whole. Using terminology very much of the time, the author shows how attitudes towards different kinds of disability had developed at the time; they varied both regionally and by social class, sometimes calling into question the accepted ‘facts’ about the distribution of a particular condition. Most importantly, the author examines these attitudes together with many other social and psychological factors in relation to their impact on the social behaviour and developing self-image of the disabled child. It becomes clear that the dangers of categorization and the difficulties in overcoming stigma have a profound influence on the education and socialization of disabled children. This book will be of historical interest to students and teachers of psychology, education, social work and rehabilitation; and it will provide insight for parents and all those concerned with the care and development of the disabled child about how far we have come.
