Children With Handicaps A Review of Behavioral Research
Biography
Gershon Berkson
"This excellent volume will be of immense value to undergraduate students, graduate students, faculty, and adults who want a concise overview of the behavioral research on children with mental and physical handicaps....There is also an excellent discussion of educational programs and treatment methods....This well-researched, well-written book will be an asset to school and home libraries. I recommend it highly."
—Science Books & Films"A book that works particularly well as a general reference or research tool. Berkson's writing is clear and pleasant to read....Recommended for undergraduate and graduate students and researchers."
—CHOICE"I cannot imagine that anyone doing research or working with children who have handicaps and are interested as well in their adjustment as adults will not take this book frequently from its shelf....We should be pleased and he proud that we have this substantial contribution to crown a lifetime dedicated to children with handicaps."
—American Journal of Mental Retardation"The very wide range of topics covered affords the reader the chance to become acquainted with the impact of handicapping conditions on aspects of children's lives....the book takes a rather humane and sophisticated approach to understanding children who face handicaps and the research published on this population....the book is written for persons who have some training in psychology but know little about current research on children with handicaps."
