What does it mean when a child is having difficulty with
developmental milestones like walking, talking, and learning to
read and write? What are the signs that a disability might be
present, and what next steps can parents take to help their child?
Pediatrician Louis Pellegrino gives you clear and down-to-earth
answers in this new version of the trusted bestseller "When Your
Child Has a Disability." Now streamlined and reorganized by key
developmental milestones rather than by disability, this book
responds perfectly to the needs of parents who don't have a
diagnosis yet or want to explore challenges common across
disabilities. With reassuring warmth, good humor, and candor, Dr.
Pellegrino offers practical guidance on what it means and what to
do next when a child struggles with
- speech and language development
- motor skills development
- daily living skills
- social skills
- behavioral control and attention
- learning and cognitive development
- vision, hearing, and sensory processing
- special medical issues
Throughout the book, Dr. Pellegrino combines research-based
information and guidance with vivid metaphors, jargon-busting
explanations of key terms, fascinating "pearls of wisdom," and
engaging anecdotes from his personal and professional experience.
A go-to guide for families, a highly accessible resource for
professionals, and an ideal supplemental text for tomorrow's
practitioners, this book will be a mainstay reference for everyone
who picks it up. Keep it at your fingertips for a great
developmental primer and the guidance you need to take first steps
toward resolving a child's challenges.
