Books in the Routledge Library Editions: Children and Disability series

First published in 1987, this book focuses on childhood disability within the family. It examines the very nature of disability itself, as well as many of the fundamental elements of families.

First published in 1975, this book looks at the place of children with handicaps in society. The separation between handicapped people and the community was still a challenge at that time and here, a strong range of contributors discuss approaches to the problem focusing on education, employment, and daily life.

First published in 1990, this book was the first informed study to focus on care within the voluntary sector. Written with the child in mind, it sensitively explores the administration, strategy, and problems facing carers in children's homes, at that time. Centring on small, community-based facilities, the authors discuss the processes involved in setting up and running such facilities.

Originally published between 1973 and 1990, this collection reissues twelve books that focus on the lives of children with mental and physical disabilities. Together, the books reflect research being done in the period and look at the challenges individuals, families, and professionals faced at that time. Topics covered include caring for children with disabilities, inclusion, and coping with particular disabilities.
