Description

Specialists from Canada, England, and the US reflect on the psychosocial and behavioral characteristics of the particular categories of exceptional children that are most often described in educational, behavioral, and health practices. They represent medicine, psychology, and education, and drawn on theory, research, and practice. Among their contributions are psychological perspectives on exceptionality, childhood disability and the family, externalizing conditions, psychosocial characteristics of children with pervasive developmental disorders, psychosocial correlates of physical and health disabilities, the promise and problems of potential for gifted children, the impact of visual impairments on psychosocial development, and fostering resilience in exceptional children.
