The third edition of this bestselling professional resource and textbook highlights the cultural and ethnic diversity of families in the U.S. The book is designed to be used by a broad audience of pre-service professionals and interventionists who work with families and children with disabilities from diverse backgrounds, whose customs, beliefs, and values may differ from their own. They include case stories as well as appendixes with lists of contrasting beliefs, values, and practices; cultural courtesies and customs; significant cultural events/holidays/practices; and sample vocabulary. The last section of the book offers a summary and synthesis of the discussion and makes recommendations for professionals and the systems in which they work. There is an appendix of suggested readings and resources that has been expanded to include more books, films, theater, and other media.
