Present-day health and neurodevelopmental disability
Present-day health and neurodevelopmental disability Peter Rosenbaum and Gabriel Ronen (2m46s)
The co-editors address, among other themes, current insights and beliefs about children, families, disability issues, rights, policies and the conceptual and clinical underpinnings of work in childhood neurodisability. They reflect on how the current era has been enormously influenced by developments in, for example, public health (survival of children with impairments) concepts about ‘health’ (such as the World Health Organization’s International Classification of Functioning, Health and Disability); and movements to enshrine the rights of children and the rights of people with disabilities in international conventions.
