Examines the views of younger people who become disabled after marriage and of their partners who become involved in helping and supporting them. Explores the roles of informal networks, services and income in supporting these couples and their children. Shows how, in the absence of help and support from elsewhere, couples are left in a precarious position financially, practically, emotionally and socially. Looks at how age, class, gender and existing power relations within the marriage affect the experience of both disability and caring. Examines the extent to which 'independence' for the disabled person from informal help is seen by either partner as a legitimate or desirable goal.

When a child has a developmental delay affecting motor coordination and development the ramifications are far reaching, from the daily tasks of dressing and brushing your teeth, to learning to write and participating in sports. This book is a practical resource manual and 'how to help' book for parents of, or professionals working with, young children with motor coordination developmental delays. It covers a range of topics, including recognizing normal and abnormal motor development, when and how to seek help, an overview of approaches used to help the clumsy child, and specific teaching strategies appropriate for both parents and professional caregivers. Rather than focusing upon one specific frame of reference, the author offers a diverse range of ways to manage motor coordination and development problems, and also discusses the controversial nature of therapy for these children. Multiple tables and lists serve as quick reference guides and the three appendices include extensive further reading and an invaluable contacts list, making this an essential resource for anyone caring for or working with children with developmental motor concerns.
