Provides a step-by-step guide to assessing the child and planning a treatment programme suitable for the family concerned.

After discussing the nature of cerebral palsy, the condition and its effects, the author closely integrates the theory with the development of practical skills. She outlines principles by which to observe and analyse a child’s problems and then plan treatment, whilst recognising that each child is different and what works for one may not work for all.

Later chapters discuss contractures and deformities, using aids and equipment and successful eating and drinking.

The book is aimed at 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.
