Cerebral Palsy: Problems and Practice - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

This highly praised book is widely recognised as the standard work for parents of children with cerebral palsy. Practical and optimistic, it sets out a model of good practise, advocating a multidisciplinary approach that can be tailored to the needs of each and every child. The authors explain what is known about the cause of cerebral palsy, describe how mobility and other abilities are affected and stress the importance of early intervention, adequate assessment, developmental programmes and educational provision to prepare the child for an independent adulthood. They also include statements by adults who have learned to cope on their own. The book has been revised to cover new findings and therapies, and the extensive references and resources have been brought up to date. Sane and realistic in its expectations, it remains a valuable guide for families and professionals alike.
