The book has been designed to provide readers with an understanding
of cerebral palsy (CP) as a developmental as well as a neurological
condition. It details the nature of CP, its causes and its clinical
manifestations. Using clear, accessible language (supported by an
extensive glossary) the authors have blended current science with
metaphor both to explain the biomedical underpinnings of CP and to
share their awareness that there is much that can be done to
promote child and family development, enhance the capabilities of
young people with CP, empower their families, and chart a course
into adulthood.
The authors have reviewed classification and have emphasised the
wide range of functional impairments that are seen in both children
and adults with cerebral palsy. In doing so they have used the ICF
framework and have described the range of interventions that may be
applicable to people with cerebral palsy whilst emphasising that
the condition is lifelong and that promotion of adaptation is a key
component to understanding its nature and effects.
Essential reading for parents and carers of those with cerebral
palsy, clinicians, paediatricians, neurologists, occupational
therapists and physiotherapists.
