Summary:
Cerebral palsy has become the number one cause of disability of
children in the world today. Yet in many countries of the South there
are few therapists despite the millions of children affected.
Furthermore, there is little opportunity for those therapists and
others working with children with cerebral palsy to undergo
specialist training. Cerebral palsy is a challenging condition which
presents itself differently in every child. This book enables those
working with children who suffer from cerebral palsy to make the
necessary decisions and choose the appropriate therapeutic activities
for each individual child. The author closely integrates the theory
with practical skills, reminding readers of the theory behind the
practice and providing opportunities to reflect on what has been
learnt. The book provides sets of principles by which to observe and
analyze a childs problems and then plan treatment. Many illustrated
examples of how to apply these principles are given throughout the
book. However readers are urged to understand that these examples are
not to be considered as recipes: each child is different and what
works for one may not work for all. The book has been written for
therapists but the clear line illustrations, glossary and minimal use
of technical terms will ensure that parents and community workers
will also find the book useful and informative.
