As the rate of autism diagnosis continues to escalate, awareness and recognition of this developmental brain disorder – as well as a demand for services – are also mushrooming. School districts, already struggling under the weight of withering budgets and increasing enrollments, are now scrambling to strike a balance between the types of services and treatments parents want for their children and what the school system can afford to provide. Consequently, a broad cross-section of professionals and parents are searching for the means and methods by which to identify and address the wide-ranging educational needs of the children with autism spectrum disorder.
The overall aim in bringing together the various projects reported in this book is to enhance theoretical and practical understanding of quality management in tourism and hospitality. Taken together, the collection of work provides a benchmark of current knowledge, and examines the range of research methods being applied to further develop tourism and hospitality service management research. managing Tourism and Hospitality Services contains 28 chapters by international experts, and it is hoped that this book will stimulate new research questions by highlighting tensions and challenges in the area.
Throughout the world the number of working mothers with young children has continued to grow. This has important consequences for social policy decisions, particularly in the fields of parental leave, childcare and pre-school services provision. Some countries are far more successful at combining high quality early childhood services with high percentages of mothers in employment, whereas others continue to struggle. This edited volume examines the ways in which different countries across the world are tackling early childhood services and how these services affect young children’s experiences and development, for better and worse. Some of the recurring questions of childcare provision are tackled, including:
Is pre-school childcare detrimental to children?
Does the quality of childcare matter?
Why are some countries succeeding in providing quality childcare services, and others are not?
How can we best organise parental leave, employment regulations and childcare provision?
