This book is a practical guide designed to help therapists and community workers understand and effectively treat children with cerebral palsy, a particular problem in developing countries, made worse by inadequate knowledge and treatment facilities. The book focuses on adequate assessment, designing treatment programmes, assessing and managing eating and drinking difficulties, making simple and cost-effective equipment, designing appropriate play activities, evaluating and dealing with sensory integration problems and closer integration of theory and practical skills. Written in a straightforward manner, with examples of actual situations, easy-to-follow descriptions and illustrations, this manual is extremely useful for students, physio, occupational and speech therapists, rehabilitation workers, parents and volunteers.
