Rezensionen

"A fantastic book that provides further validation for the early
intervention model. Readers who are not specialists in early
intervention will find the theoretical review and its influence on
practice particularly helpful. Experienced clinicians will gain new
perspectives from the coverage of advances in intervention programs
and the critique of research projects currently underway.
Altogether, it is a well edited and integrated book, written in an
accessible and balanced style that will have wide appeal. A great
book!" Dr Sue McGaw, Consultant Clinical Psychologist, Head of
Special Parenting Service, Cornwall Partnership (NHS) Trust, UK

"The strength of Early Intervention: The Essential
Readings lies in bringing together in one place recent landmark
studies in the field of early intervention. The breadth of the
collection provides an excellent introduction for those new to
early intervention; the depth will delight the discerning reader. I
feel certain teachers from the many disciplines represented in
early intervention will include this bookas their standard
recommended reference text for years to come." Gwynnyth
Llewellyn, PhD, Sesquicentenary Professor of Occupation and Leisure
Sciences, University of Sydney, Australia

"This collection provides the theoretical and empirical
background that is essential reading for anyone who wants to be
well informed about recent and current knowledge in the Early
Intervention field, and makes an excellent supplement to a textbook
or indeed could stand alone as the primary readings for a course on
Early Intervention. The volume will be of great value to advanced
undergraduate students, graduate students and direct care workers
in the field." Peter Vietze, Ph.D., Institute for Basic Research
in Developmental Disabilities, USA

"Throughout the book effective relationships are drawn between
theory and practice and the practical implications of various
research studies identified. Many key issues facing early
intervention programmes such as exaggerated expectations, quality
assurance and best-fit models are teased-out and discussed,
providing interesting food for thought." Aine de Roiste, Cork
Institute of Technology, Ireland
