Handbook of Children with Special Health Care Needs
David Hollar, editor
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 practitioners
who work to deliver 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. Contributors offer screening and evaluation
methods, research guidelines, and diagnostic and treatment interventions to
inform the greatest spectrum of readers, including: Quality oflife in children
diagnosed with ADHD or specific learning disabilities Evaluating school-aged
children with visual impairments Deaf culture advocates on deaf learners’
education Oral health access issues in children requiring special services
Diagnostic and treatment issues in fetal alcohol spectrum disorders Addressing
and preventing bullying of children with special health care needs Its
interdisciplinary outlook makes the Handbook of Children with Special Health
Care Needs a vital, forward-looking text for pediatricians, early childhood and special education professionals, disability advocates, social workers, and providers for children with special health care needs.
