This pamphlet recognises that the occasion of the birth of a child with a disability needs special management by hospital and medical staff, who should remain sensitive and non-judgemental. It outlines a procedure for telling parents, the basic management of the family in hospital and the creation of links for the family with relevant community workers. The importance of the family receiving emotional recognition and help first is stressed. Keyword: Professionals
