Parents and Caretakers
A concise, step-by-step blueprint for parents and caregivers to understand and maximize special education services, and the accommodations children need for full inclusion in the classroom.
Each chapter addresses key elements of the special education process, including the most common types of interventions and how to receive them, collecting relevant data, collaborating with school staff, strategies to enhance the treatment planning process, cultural factors that can influence treatment planning, and steps to take if a plan is not being followed.
Special emphasis is given to parental self care and to helping caretakers acknowledge and accept their child’s diagnosis, understand their responsibilities on the treatment planning team, and advocate forcefully but fairly on their child’s behalf.
Straightforward and substantive, Mental Health from Diagnosis to Delivery showcases how social skills instruction can be applied and effectively incorporated into the successful care and treatment of children diagnosed with DSM-5 disorders (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition).
