The SmartStart Toolbox is a remedial program designed to help mental health professionals and adoptive parents promote the educational and social development of internationally adopted children aged 4-8. Recognizing the cultural, emotional, and cognitive needs of these children, the Toolbox provides a range of family-based remedial activities that stimulate children's thinking and learning while creating scaffolded attachment opportunities during early interactions with their adoptive families. The Toolbox draws on the notions of psychological tools (Vygotsky) and mediated learning experience (Feuerstein) to form its theoretical foundations and offers step-by-step guidance on conducting activities and adapting them to the individual child. It can also be used by professionals for diagnostic purposes. This text will benefit researchers in child psychology, clinicians, family therapists, social workers, and educators with an interest in child development, cognitive and language enhancement, and adoption and fostering more broadly. Adoptive parents will also benefit from this book and its focus on themes of attachment, parenting, and the development of social cognition.
