Recenzii

An invaluable book ... it provides a comprehensive and contemporary resource for academics, practitioners and policy makers in an area which is of increasing concern but which has been under-researched until now. Professor Saul Becker, Department of Social Science, Loughborough University

... a timely and well-researched text that covers an increasingly important area of enquiry within Disability Studies. Parenting and disability makes an original and important contribution to the field. Colin Barnes, Department of Sociology and Social Policy, University of Leeds

Traditionally, the literature has ignored the parental roles of disabled people, or it has constructed such roles as problematic. Parenting and Disability is an important book because it breaks from this tradition and highlights the importance of providing adequate support to disabled parents in order to facilitate effective parenting. British Journal of Social Work

... fundamental reading for social workers, healthcare and childhood studies students as well as being an important contribution to disability literature. Journal of Social Policy

... readable enough to be enjoyed outside office hours. Concluding with usable recommendations, this book manages to be both practical and thought provoking. Child and Family Social Work"... important reading for anyone working in the disability or wider social services fields, as well as policy makers who have an interest in this area." Family Matters
