What Rights for Disabled Children? Home Enteral Tube Feeding in the Community.

Townsley, Ruth; Robinson, Carol

Children & Society, v13 n1 p48-60 Feb 1999

Assessed the practical, social and emotional impact of home enteral tube feeding (HETF) on children and their families. Found that training for non-parent caregivers was inadequate. Consequently, access to education and social services may be restricted due to the perception these children require nursing care. (SD)
