{"title":"Being a family. The experience of raising a child with a disability or chronic illness.","authors":"J Knoll","doi":"","DOIUrl":"","url":null,"abstract":"<p><p>This chapter examined the experiences of families of children with a variety of specialized needs, families who, as pioneers in family-centered, community-based care, are defining the future of services. It also looked at the services that are supposed to support the families in their efforts. On one hand, we have exposed the reader to the tension between traditional approaches to services for children with special needs and the expressed needs of families for coherence and empowerment. On the other hand, the data testify to the development of a new definition of the parent-professional relationship as individual professionals and select service systems around the country strive to work out what it means to support families. When the testimony of these families is carefully read, we are left with an impression of a schizophrenic system of public and private supports for home care for children with severe disabilities and specialized health care needs. The official rhetoric affirms the primacy of the family, and yet the experience of these families is otherwise. Again and again, the families told of benefits managers, case managers, discharge planners, social workers, program administrators, special educators, and the like who implied that parents were out to \"milk the system.\" This attitude was conveyed even in dealing with entitlements and plans to which the parents had long contributed. Families were treated as beneficiaries of benevolent charity for which they should be grateful. Families, already struggling to come to terms with their child's impairment and the care demands associated with it, find themselves stigmatized, impoverished, and degraded. In a society of rugged individualists they are forced to ask for help. That in itself is more than some of the parents can deal with. It should be clear that these parents are not asking for charity. No one here is out to \"milk the system.\" They are simply seeking support to meet some of the extraordinary demands associated with raising their children. As parents, they are not looking for the state to assume their responsibilities. Rather, they seek supports that will enable them to devote their energies to being parents. Their testimony suggests the need for states to recognize support for the family as an entitlement that affirms that the family. They base this call on the fact that support for families is the most cost effective service the state can provide.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)</p>","PeriodicalId":77275,"journal":{"name":"Monographs of the American Association on Mental Retardation","volume":" 18","pages":"9-56"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"12653401","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The first section comprises five chapters that review and discuss current treatment approaches, the second section comprises two chapters concerned with severe problems, and the third section comprises two chapters that address training concerns. The authors of these chapters used various approaches, but all are based on a philosophy of behavior analysis-behavior modification. Norris Haring, the author of the foreword, sees four areas-behavioral diagnostics, positive programming, self-management, and parent training-as new territory in behavioral management, and the book includes a chapter on each of these topics. Despite their differences, the primary focus of all of these approaches seems to be the humane, respectful treatment of the client. Section 1, Treatment Approaches, reviews token economies, self-management approaches, the use of punishment, positive programming, and behavioral diagnostics. Section 2, Severe Problems, addresses aggressive and disruptive behavior and communityreferenced research on self-stimulation. Section 3, Training Concerns, reviews behavioral parent training and effective staff management. Generally, the monograph articles are well written, although some are wordy, too narrowly focused, or defensive. Each approach is presented in a positive manner and is supported by other research. Application of each approach is discussed through either case studies or research completed by the author. Ideas on the implementation of approaches with different persons are discussed. Although the title of the book indicates that it addresses exclusively the treatment of severe behavior disorders, the authors also address mild behavior problems and approaches that can be applied to any type of problem. Additionally, many references are provided for further reading related to specific topic areas. An occupational therapist would find this book helpful. Many of the ideas are practical and easy to implement with a minimum of special equipment. The approaches covered generally require the therapist to work with other professionals when treating the clients. Although this book is not addressed specifically to occupational therapists, it would be helpful to the therapist working in developmental disabilities or psychiatry.
