Full of treatment ideas

I have found this book useful for working with adults and children with abnormal tone. It has many, many ideas for treatment and good illustrations. It draws from a neurodevelopmental treatment framework. Very useable. Despite the many ideas, it is not a cookbook type presentation. She lays a good foundation for the rational behind her treatment.

Great Book for all therapists.

This book provides thorough information that cann be applied to all types of facilities from LTC to acute. I use this book for LTC and found it to be very helpful for patients with diagnoses ranging from contractures to CVA. Works well in conjunction with book entitled "Steps to Follow" by Patricia Davies. Every OTR could benefit from reading and owning this book.
