In other words, the intervention itself is not specified. There appears to have been no systematic way of providing the service, no systematic training for assigned workers, and no way of ascertaining the specific ways in which workers were to best utilize the fifteen hours per week they were assigned to the project. Seminars were developed during the course of the project to provide workers with new information about the problems faced by and services available to families of developmentally disabled children, but little data are available on the effects of maturation over time of the service providers working with the project. These flaws in the design of the project may well have contributed to the lack of clinically or statistically significant findings stemming from the study. Having worked with this population as a clinician, this reviewer is aware of the need for specialized training as well as specific goals and objectives for working with these children and their families. Analysis of these specialized methods would be most helpful to future research efforts. The author's suggestion that the project was a true quasi-experimental design is not completely satisfactory, because the nature of the services that were provided to families who were not a part of the Resource Worker Project could not be ascertained. One cannot be assured that workers who were not assigned to the project might not have been equally helpful to families as were those assigned for fifteen hours per week, because no data were gathered on the former category of service providers or on the actual services received by the \"comparison group\" families during the project. Moreover, cost-effectiveness discussions are premature in that the services that were provided were not compared with the cost of similar services provided by other professionals in a traditional agency, or with the cost if parents had been directly prepared \"to take action by themselves, by equipping them with the information and confidence they needed in order to obtain help on their own behalf.\" Glendinning's work excels, however, in its detailed description of the, numerous and varied problems faced by families of disabled children as well as the children themselves. Chapters Five through Ten offer rich information in the areas of housing adaptation, use of medical services, interaction with educational programs, training for practical daily living skills, respite care, adult placement decisions, and access to financial services. The book also includes a discussion of familial and sibling interaction with the disabled child, an issue generally not found in most texts on working with the families of the developmentally disabled.
