Summary "Children with a debilitating condition like cerebral palsy receive treatment from a variety of specialised therapists at once. This book documents and builds on the experiences of a team of special educators in south India, who have been experimenting with a new strategy for working with children with disabilities. In this approach, rehabilitation workers are trained in physiotherapy, occupational therapy, and speech and language therapy, thereby preparing them to serve as 'Trandisciplinary' workers. These workers are thus equipped to offer each child a holistic treatment programme and more relevant integrated care for a range of disabilities." "Termed the Trandisciplinary (TD) approach, this method is even more pertinent to India and other developing countries where the numbers are large and the resources few, thereby making this method effective and accessible to many more."
"Immensely practical and full of insights into the establishment and implementation of a Transdisciplinary worker training programme, this book will be welcomed by students, trainers and practitioners of therapies relating to cerebral palsy and associated disabilities, as well as the families of children with disabilities."--BOOK JACKET
