The Early Intervention Dictionary: A Multidisciplinary Guide to Terminology
Federal legislation is increasingly mandating that a full range of specialized services be made available to all infants and preschoolers with special needs. These early intervention programs generally involve a team of medical, educational, and psychological specialists who work with the youngsters and their families to maximize each child's potential. Because early intervention is a developing field involving a variety of disciplines, each with its own vocabulary and perspective, this dictionary--the first of its kind in comprehensiveness and scope--is particularly valuable. Entries are arranged alphabetically and include useful explanations for acronyms and abbreviations, generic and brand-name drugs, and medical and psychological tests and scales. This scholarly yet accessible source is highly recommended for parenting and education collections.- Linda Cullum, Lake Superior State Univ. Lib., Sault Ste.
