Description:
Ensure children with disabilities and special healthcare needs achieve their full potential.
Noted authorities Susan Effgen, Allyssa LaForme Fiss and a team of scholars and clinical experts explore the role of the physical therapist in meeting the needs of children and their families in a culturally appropriate content using a family-centered, abilities-based model.
From the major body systems to assistive technology and intervention support, you’ll develop the clinical knowledge you need to provide a child with the very best care from initial examination to graduation from your services.
Synopsis:
- Family-centered interventions and vignette-style case examples appear throughout.
- Academicians (in the systems chapters) and clinicians (in the sections on settings, supports, and case studies) provide a balance of theory and practice.
- Disease-specific case studies highlight multisystem involvement of many common pediatric diagnoses, build critical thinking skills, and demonstrate real-life applications.
- Content follows the practice patterns set by APTA's Guide to Physical Therapist Practice.
- Organizational structure uses the World Health Organization’s International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health (ICF) model—the first text to do so.
- Narrated video recordings online with closed captioning of children with disabilities being evaluated and receiving intervention.
