"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
