Selected Readings for Parents of Preschool Handicapped Children. Bibliography No. 86-1.
Library of Congress, Washington, DC. National Library Service for the Blind and Physically Handicapped.
This bibliography presents a representative selection of books and periodical articles (most published since 1979) for parents concerned with guiding the development of their preschool handicapped children. The first section lists 29 books and articles addressing major parental issues and concerns such as parenting skills, coping, advocacy, family life, home care, services; and specific disabilities including blindness, wheelchair-bound, neurological impairments, learning disabilities, and cerebral palsy. The bibliography's second section lists 15 citations dealing with activities for developing skills in preschool handicapped children. Ideas for toys, games, and other developmental activities are presented in these resources. Nine periodicals for parents of preschool children (some especially for parents of exceptional children) are cited in the next section, followed by four periodicals for preschool (but not necessarily exceptional) children. Seven related bibliographies and 19 reference circulars, covering such areas as accessibility, attitudes toward handicapped people, braille, and spoken-word recordings, are listed in the final section.
