In "Family Support" I think the author didn't give a lot links for  some professional words and the also not much links for books.

Janet: Nice to meet you...sorry I did not do any links at all on my entries for the encyclopedia (you are on family support). I would be happy to provide links, but I needed to finish a book on the community services instead. Wikipedia did not have any citations and I provided for free at no cost over 100 references that none of the readers had ever seen before. Are you involved in the field of family support or disability?

The links that were placed on are not correct either...for example instead of the national research funding arm and investigator (the National Institute on Disability Research and Rehabilitation) which had multi-decade initiatives, the federal government was linked. The current director is K.C. Lakin, a prior subcontractor of mine, and I could do the entry for the department if no one else has or does on wikipedia (US research lead in community and disability).

The Wisconsin Developmental Disabilities Council is one of my US favorites of the 50 in the US states (fine state example link of services) which I worked with, and as part of the national research, I personally identified their "hidden list" on cash subsidies prior to transfer to a US study by my student (Knoll, et al) and then to annual statistics through a contracting university (Braddock et al, 2013 on web as state of the states - that is an appropriate and current link). However, the site was changed to say Bates of Wisconsin (non-university) conducted my national center's survey (in New York, university national leadership) of US programs of which cash subsidy was a relatively hidden program.

I am not sure if the other link is yours, but the Exceptional Family Resources would be fine as a private agency, but it is closed contracting in 2013. If you pursue that way, I should be linked for my business (Community and Policy Studies) for books, research reports, instead. Their prior Exec and staff were more than appropriately credited on the site, and they now have home and community-based Medicaid funds without open personnel interviewing.

I love the links, too!! But I wished to have more entries on (ours were all missing, and still are) before I started linking. Someone already has said that family support theories (when I did not do a separate entry) was family therapy...well, it is one of the services only I research and "fund" as family counseling, family therapy, diagnostics and assessments, child and family services...(they are to enter their own names and theories - a full amazon.com book on family theories already). The group called family therapy does not recognize family support as other than parent to parent and support groups, and often does not provide services to the target group of "long term" categorical served clients (e.g., hearing impairments, learning disabilities, traumatic brain injuries).

Key Links for Family Support: Family support theories, family services (family and children's services and adult services), community services (and community services funding), respite (and all service typologies including family therapy, cash subsidies and consumer-controlled budgets, assistive technology and home modifications, personal assistants and home aides, categorical supports such as talking books), and surprise, deinstitutionalization, long-term services and supports (LTSS)
