(2005).
Barbara’s groundbreaking book provides a new framework for understanding ‘difficult’ or ‘different’ children whom no label seems to fit – and who, as a result, often end up with misleading or even multiple labels. When the Labels Don’t Fit shows how to set aside disease-based labels and identify the specific traits and needs that lie behind a child’s behavior. A practical alternative to the notion that difference or struggle signifies psychological disorder, the book includes a questionnaire and more than 60 hands-on exercises and strategies.
