Containing details of a wide range of conditions and disorders, it is easy to find relevant brief details on many of the conditions that a practitioner would expect to come across within their practice―as well as a few of the more obscure―and it includes a good range of information concerning physical as well as learning disabilities."

It is definitely a reference book which should be available in all paediatric occupational therapy departments, as it provides fast, up to date, pertinent and succinct information on all conditions encountered in the practice of paediatric Occupational Therapy."
