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,

comprehensive, interdisciplinary framework for delivering effective
health care to children with disabilities and chronic illnesses.

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.
