A Place in the Family: An Historical Interpretation of Research on Parental Reactions To Having a Child with a Disability.

Ferguson, Philip M.

Journal of Special Education, v36 n3 p124-30,47 Fall 2002

Two new strands have emerged recently, and the review explores how these approaches can help improve linkages between families and schools. (Contains references.) (Author/CR)
