In The Telling (Winter 2001)

An in depth study of several families in Derry and Co Derry (N. Ireland), into their experience of how they were told about their child’s diagnosis. It is a quantitive study, that is acknowledged to be leaning on the family view, rather than on objective, distended interpretation of these situations. In other words this study explores just a number of families experience, carried out by a parent of a disabled child, highlighting many of the issues such families face, from a certain perspective. The conclusion, of what is a very disturbing report, is that sometimes the way news is broken can be more devastating than the news itself.
