Summary

"This comprehensive but concise work highlights the problems faced in managing the care of disabled children from different cultural backgrounds. It examines the problems inherent in the medical, social and education management of children with developmental disability in populations whose value systems differ from other cultures. In particular it considers how care may be varied according to cultural background, without compromising its quality." "The book is of immense value for all healthcare and social care professionals, policy makers and shapers, patient organisations and those with an interest in medical ethics."--Jacket.
