Sociocultural and Family System Perspectives: Families Who Have
Children with Disabilities helps readers acknowledge and appreciate
the unique and diverse experiences of families caring for children
with a range of disabilities. Among various aspects of supporting
children with developmental, medical, or educational needs, the
text explores the everyday challenges and opportunities families
may experience. Throughout the text, readers develop insight into
the responses and resilience of family who have children with
disabilities with several theoretical perspectives; the laws and
practices of the professionals involved; and the culturally
appropriate responses and support available for families. In
addition to presenting the historical, political, and educational
aspects of disability in the United States, the book is written
with consideration of the intersection of race/ethnicity, language,
gender, sexuality, disability, social class, and culture. Readers
are encouraged to read key articles, watch suggested films, and
participate in reflections and activities to instill learnings and
cultivate empathy. Sociocultural and Family System Perspectives is
an ideal textbook for courses in family studies and child
development, especially those with focus on children with
disabilities and their families.
