Children with Facial Differences A Parents' Guide
Note: Review only, product no longer for sale.
The first comprehensive book to provide parents with up-to-date information and support
Each year, thousands of children are born with facial difference—conditions that result in abnormalities of the bones and tissues of the head and face which appear at birth or a few years later. Some conditions occur more commonly, such as cleft lip and cleft palate, while others such as Treacher Collins, Apert's, and Crouzon syndromes, are rarer. In the past, most parents seeking information about their child's facial difference were disheartened to find little or none available. Now there is a resource parents can turn to for help—Children with Facial Difference —the first comprehensive book to provide parents with up-to-date information and support. Children with Facial Difference helps parents understand and cope with the challenges presented by their child's condition: diagnosis; causes and the genetic likelihood of recurrence; family adjustment; medical concerns and multi-disciplinary treatment approaches; self-esteem; family and community life; communication difficulties; education; and legal rights and advocacy. Each chapter of Children with Facial Difference includes Parent Statements, reassuring and useful bits of information and insight from parents of children with facial difference. These statements help alleviate feelings of isolation and provide comfort and support. Important additional features include a glossary of terms, a reading list, and a resource list of organisations, as well as an index. Hope Charkins, M.S.W. 300 pages, 5 1/s" X 8 1/2" 25 Photographs

Occupational Therapy: Self Dressing Skills: Snakey and the Jumbo Music Block
Children with general developmental delays can be slow to learn to dress themselves. Learning how to dress yourself makes a real difference in the personal independence of a child, but it's not all that easy to learn. A good way to learn is to start by learning how to UNDO on a toy in front of you. Then practice doing the fastenings up. When the oversized fastenings on the toy are mastered, try doing fastenings up on someone else, and only then on yourself, which is hardest. Then watch your child enjoy not needing to ask for help!
