Handling the Cerebral Palsied Child at Home

I consider this book a classic on the subject of, as the title suggests, handling the young cerebral palsied at home. It gives information on physiotherapy, occupational therapy ,speech therapy and how to best apply these methods in the child's own home. The illustrations are well drawn and the book is very well written in clear, easy to understand language. This book is a must for all parents of young children with cerebral palsy.
