Levitt, a physiotherapist and tutor in developmental pediatrics and neurology in the UK, outlines therapeutic and assessment approaches and treatment and management options for children with cerebral palsy, for practitioners and students concerned with the developmental abilities and difficulties of children, especially physiotherapists and occupational therapists working in pediatrics, as well as doctors, parents, families, and teachers. She emphasizes an eclectic, holistic approach, and integrates current ideas on motor control and learning into her collaborative learning approach, which incorporates a family's cultural and social values. This edition has more on evidence-based practice and updated information on the use of botulism toxin, orthopedic surgery, and the therapist's role following these procedures. It also has a chapter on adolescents and adults with cerebral palsy. Annotation ©2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
