needs-but medical and human service professionals often don't get
the training they need to provide long-term, integrated care for
these children. Filling a critical gap in professional education,
this groundbreaking textbook and training tool presents a
comprehensive, interdisciplinary framework for delivering effective
health care to children with disabilities and chronic illnesses.
Going far beyond the traditional model of treating and reducing
symptoms, renowned pediatrician Heidi Feldman gives professionals a
big-picture blueprint for improving the lives of children with
disabilities and helping them participate fully in family and
community life.
