A highly practical book describing a holistic approach which, with the right stimulation and full parental involvement, develops the communication and self-help skills of children who have multisensory impairments; and above all offers the confidence for the child to explore their world in a positive way. The children, ranging from a few months to teenage, may have total or partial deafness, be blind or partially sighted, and may have additional physical disabilities or learning difficulties. First published in 1986 as 'Multiply Handicapped Children', this revised edition has been substantially rewritten and takes account of changing approaches and educational practices.
