| Summary |
"This book is written for student and practitioner therapists, particularly those working with few resources, who wish to increase their understanding of how to help children with cerebral palsy and their families. It will be invaluable to physiotherapists, occupational therapists, speech therapists, rehabilitation workers and volunteers. The clear line illustrations and minimal use of techical terms ensure that parents and community workers will also find the book useful and informative."--BOOK JACKET |
