Practitioners should have a positve attitude about disability and about being able to provide for diabled children's requirments, and should be motivated to learn new skills such as sign language or using the makaton system, the children have greater oppurtunities for making developmental progress.

I think for the examples, I wrote some on another thread recently, just search 030 for them
