"This book outline the social and medical models of disability and covers the spectrum of disability issues, offering information and advice for practitioners. The book explains the value of family support, how to validate the feelings of siblings with disabled brothers and sisters, how to tackle social exclusion and explores the role of lifelong professional help. The author shows how social attitudes shape the world of the disabled family, and demonstrates the need for a sensitive understanding of the impact of both physical and learning disabilities on family members in order to improve their quality of life."
