Library Journal
The publisher has delivered another excellent volume in its "Special Needs Collection" (see also Children with Cerebral Palsy, LJ 4/1/91, and Children with Mental Retardation, Woodbine House, 1993). Following the easy-to-use format established by the other texts in the collection, the chapters-each written by authoritative authors-deal with the medical, emotional, legal, educational, developmental, and day-to-day issues that must be faced by the parents and families of children with visual impairments. Each chapter closes with parental statements that provide special insight for those with children whose impairment is newly diagnosed. A comprehensive glossary and an extensive list of national and state resources round out the book. Essential for parenting and special needs collections.-KellyJo Houtz Griffin, Auburn, Wash.Book Details
