Ordinary families, special children: a systems approach to childhood disability
Abstract
Many would agree that the growing number of children with disabilities is becoming astonishingly high.Children are being diagnosed with various disabilities including attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Down Syndrome, various learning disabilities, speech and language impairments, disabilities with hearing and sight, emotional disturbance and many other health impairments.The presence of a child with a disability in a family has an immense impact on the way the family functions.Milton Seligman and Rosalyn Benjamin Darling, in their book Ordinary Families, Special Children, explains and provides a multi-systems perspective on childhood disability and its effects on family life through research, suggestions and numerous real-life scenarios that depict ways families respond to having a child with a disability.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
