“…[44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51] And it is a literature that increasingly tries to distinguish why-under what conditionssome families of disabled children founder and others thrive. Contrary to the beliefs still much abroad in medicine, bioethics, and public health, recent literature does not suggest that, on balance, families raising children who have disabilities experience more stress and disruption than any other family.…”

Professionals should reexamine negative assumptions about the quality of life with prenatally detectable impairments and should reform clinical practice and public policy to improve informed decision making and genuine reproductive choice. Current data on children and families affected by disabilities indicate that disability does not preclude a satisfying life. Many problems attributed to the existence of a disability actually stem from inadequate social arrangements that public health professionals should work to change. This article assumes a pro-choice perspective but suggests that unreflective uses of prenatal testing could diminish, rather than expand, women's choices. This critique challenges the view of disability that lies behind the social endorsement of such testing and the conviction that women will or should end their pregnancies if they discover that the fetus has a disabling trait.

“…I left feeling poorly understood, sure that the psychologist felt I was in denial of reality. Lipsky (1985) remarks that When family members question or do not support the medical, rehabilitative, or educational regimen prescribed, it is often interpreted by professionals as harassment or classified as evidence of prevalent psychological conflicts, such as a denial of reality, a displacement of anger and resentment onto the physician or other professional, a family dynamic problem warranting treatment, or a discrepant coping mechanism.…”

Despite the author's experiences as a nurse and parent of a young adult with physical disabilities, the author had much to learn about the culture surrounding disability. The contemporary "minority-group" model for disability replaces a medical model that views people with disabilities in need of remediation. Disability rights advocates often criticize health professionals, citing erroneous assumptions and failure to understand the perspectives of disabled persons. The author illustrates applications for clinical practice by health professionals with excerpts from a qualitative study that explored the spiritual experiences of adults with physical disabilities and family members as well as their responses to lived experience with disability.

“…They argue that children with ‘invisible’ handicaps are perceived as more difficult. Lipsky (1985) describes marginal handicaps related to language and learning problems, which can contribute to the perception of the child as problematic: normal in many ways but not in others. This view is also supported by studies that found that parents of children with delayed language commonly perceive their child as temperamentally difficult and hard to manage relative to children who are developing language normally (Paul & James, 1990; Rice, Sell, & Hadley, 1991).…”

This review examines the implications of a recent systematic review of speech and language therapy interventions for child mental health services. The premise is that communication skills and mental health are closely related and that intervention in the one field may have an impact on skills and achievement in the other. The paper begins by discussing what we know about the relationship between speech/language and behavioural difficulties; it then reports results from the review, before examining the implications for practice and policy.
