Reviews
"Most useful update. Well presented and readable." Moira Helm, Senior
Lecturer, Occupational Therapy, Christ Church University College,
Canterbury, UK.
information is directed at parents or carers but could be used by
anyone involved in the management of cerebral palsy. It is very
comprehensive, more likely to be used as reference material than read
all at once. The information is detailed and needs careful study to
gain full insight into the practicalities. The book is a very helpful
adjunct to any therapist explaining aspects of cerebral palsy to a
parent, but on its own it may appeal most to an inquiring literate
carer.

It is well set out, and easy to read with summaries and footnotes in
each chapter and clearly illustrated diagrams. It gives a very
complete picture of all the areas to be considered... This book is a
good source of practical suggestions and sound background information
for any parent or professional interested in cerebral palsy.
It is an extremely useful book, easy to dip into, and I would
definitely recommend its use in any home, therapy department or
clinic. The level of information gives the reader opportunity to
understand the background of the approach to handling cerebral palsy
and is therefore encouraging and hopeful in preparing a baby or child
for the future. It motivates readers to consider just how much can be
done to help a child with cerebral palsy."Physiotherapy
