This book focuses on services for children with disabilities in Asian families. It challenges many of the stereotypes which may be held by service providers about parents' attitudes towards their child's special needs. It explores parents' awareness of the services available to help them - and their perceptions about the effectiveness of these services in meeting their needs.The second edition of The Silent Minority provides a major resource for purchasers and providers of services for Asian families of children with disabilities or special needs across the health, education, social services and the voluntary sectors. The final chapter makes positive recommendations to improve the accessibility and appropriateness of all services for children with disabilities in the Asian community. It also offers an agenda for action in creating new partnerships between Asian families and the wide range of services which can support their active participation in their children's development.

<p>"Quality in Diversity in Early Learning presents a framework to enable early childhood practitioners to consider, understand, support and extend the learning of young children from birth to eight years. It represents a new coherence in the thinking of early years practitioners and is the result of an unprecedented coming together of different organisations who by using the themes of quality and diversity, have found a new way of jointly promoting the interests of young children."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
