Routledge Library Editions: Children and The Costs of Caring: Families with Disabled Children, Book 4, (Hardcover)

First published in 1985, this book considers the financial consequences of parents and other relatives caring for severely disabled children at home, at the time. The volume interweaves hard statistical material about money with the detailed personal responses of parents. Although published originally in 1985, it references issues that are still important today and, whilst its main concern is families with disabled children, it will also be useful to anyone caring for other kinds of dependent people, such as the elderly.
