Making Friends: The Influences of Culture and Development

Summary
Elevating developmental disabilities into its multicultural and multidisciplinary framework, this book is devoted to the study of what happens in children's social networks and why, with a particular emphasis on how children make friends with those of different cultures, languages, socioeconomic statuses, ethnicities, races, or abilities. Twenty-two articles are organized into sections on theory and perspective, early childhood, adolescence, adolescence to young adulthood, reflections and perspectives on belonging, and future directions for research.
