Children with chronic conditions, developmental disorders, and
birth defects represent a sizeable minority of American children-as
many as one in five. Often their families have financial or other
issues limiting their access to appropriate care, thus limiting
their adult prospects as well. Compounding the problem, many
valuable resources concerning this population are difficult to
access although they may be critical to the researchers,
practitioners, and policymakers creating standards for quality care
and services. In response, the Handbook of Children with Special
Health Care Needs assembles research, applied, and policy
perspectives reflecting the range of children's problems requiring
special services. Widely studied conditions (e.g., communication
disorders, substance abuse) and those receiving lesser attention
(e.g., tuberculosis) are covered, as are emerging ideas such as the
"medical home" concept of continuity of care. Its interdisciplinary
outlook makes the Handbook of Children with Special Health Care
Needs a vital, forward-looking text for developmental
psychologists, pediatricians, early childhood and special education
researchers and practitioners, disability researchers,
policymakers, and advocates, and providers for children with
special health care needs.
