Health visitors play a vital role within the specialist child development team providing support for children with disabilities and their families, write Margaret Yerbury and Jim Thomas. They report the findings of a study which revealed the significant contribution of health visitors and nurses in such teams in contributing to the ability of families to develop skills to meet their child's special needs and maximise the child's potential. The study also revealed concern among parents and professionals where no specialist health visiting support was available. This vital service may be at risk from cuts in health visiting services, they warn.
玛格丽特·耶尔伯里和吉姆·托马斯写道，健康访视员在儿童专科发展团队中发挥着至关重要的作用，为残疾儿童及其家庭提供支持。他们报告了一项研究的结果，该研究揭示了健康访视员和护士在此类团队中的重大贡献，有助于家庭培养技能以满足孩子的特殊需求，并最大限度地发挥孩子的潜力。该研究还揭示了在没有专业健康访视支持的情况下，家长和专业人士的担忧。他们警告说，这项至关重要的服务可能会因健康访视服务的削减而受到威胁。
