  • Title: Counseling parents of retarded children.
    Author: Valente M.
    Journal: Calif Med; 1972 Mar; 116(3):21-6. PubMed ID: 5014762.
    Abstract:
    Recently pediatricians have become more interested in the retarded child and his family and have come to realize that they have been ill-prepared to face the many problems that continually arise. A basic understanding of the role of parents and their aspirations, coupled with a knowledge of interviewing, techniques will enable them to face these problems with greater assurance. In addition, a knowledge of the community facilities and resources is necessary. This will entail direct contact with schools, parent groups, state hospitals for the retarded as well as state and local agencies which deal with the retarded.
