Barsch, Ray H.
A report of a 3-year study of the parents of blind, deaf, mongoloid, brain injured, and cerebral palsied children investigates child rearing practices. The data collection process and the demography of the five populations are discussed. Information is also provided on the following: identification and early infancy; patterns of communication; toilet training; rest and sleep; restrictions, demands, and allowances; sex behavior; sibling attitudes and family limitation; community relations; schooling and parental aspirations; discipline; religion; and parent perceptions and attitudes. The handicapped ranking scale is described, and a summary, critique, and proposals are given. The appendix includes parent questionnaires and behavioral rating scales. (RJ)
