Poverty. Lack of social support. Limited access to education. High
risk for health problems. Indigenous communities face an inordinate
number of hardships. But when children have special needs, these
problems multiply exponentially, making existing difficulties
considerably worse. School-Parent Collaborations in Indigenous
Communities: Providing Services for Children with Disabilities
begins with an in-depth overview of indigenous experience and
psychology, and situates disabilities within the contexts of
indigenous communities and education services. The pilot study at
the core of the book, conducted among the Bedouins of southern
Israel, shows this knowledge in action as special education
personnel engage parents in interventions for their children. Going
beyond facile concepts of cultural sensitivity, the model recasts
professionals as cultural mediators between school and family. This
practice- oriented information has the potential to improve not
only the well-being of children and families, but of the greater
community as well. Featured in the coverage: * Unique
characteristics of indigenous communities and children with
disabilities. * Psychological models of reactions to disability. *
Benefits of multidisciplinary teams. * Factors affecting
collaboration between indigenous parents of children with
disabilities and school professionals. * Core principles of
indigenously attuned collaboration. * An extended case study on
collaboration between parents of children with disabilities and
school professionals in a Bedouin community. School-Parent
Collaborations in Indigenous Communities is a breakthrough resource
for researchers, graduate students, and professionals working with
special needs children in child and school psychology,
international and comparative education, social work,
cross-cultural psychology, public health, and educational
psychology.
