Social workers and allied professionals will find this book to be a
valuable tool, highlighting ways of improving the cultural
sensitivity of disability services and parental and family support.
Combining a wide-ranging survey and in-depth interviews, the
authors build a rich picture of the lives of South Asian families
with a child with severe disabilities and place their experiences
in the wider context of how culture and ethnicity can impact on a
family's experience of disability. The authors offer clear ideas
for practical improvements in: * awareness and mobilisation of
formal support services * parental and extended family acceptance
of the child's disability * availability of support groups and
other informal support * parents' physical and mental health * the
child and family's social life linking their findings to recent
policy initiatives to improve the information and support offered
to all carers. Policy makers, academics and practitioners in
health, social work and education will find the authors give an
invaluable insight into the cultural, religious and language needs
of ethnic minority families coping with disability.
