preventive care to healthy, impaired, and at-risk populations using
the World Health Organization’s International Classification of
Functioning, Disability, and Health model as a guideline for
assessment and management. Based upon the goals outlined in Healthy

professionals with the goals of national health care to increase

Research has become increasingly clear regarding the benefits of
interprofessional collaborations in health care. Pediatric
therapists have long recognized that coordinated care and advocacy
for children and their families promote healthy growth,
development, and participation in a wide range of environments. To
this end, Pediatric Therapy: An Interprofessional Framework for
Practice has been designed to engage students and clinicians in
interprofessional learning experiences that cultivate collaborative
practice and optimize the outcomes of those served. Dr. Catherine
Rush Thompson and her team of contributors represent years of
experience across the fields of physical therapy, occupational
therapy, and speech-language pathology. Rather than discussing each
of these fields in isolation, however, the text explores
professional roles and responsibilities, emphasizing essential
skills needed for collaboration in a range of pediatric settings.
Key Interprofessional Concepts Covered: Foundations and
philosophies that serve as a basis for pediatric care Assessing
infants, children, youth, and adolescents in various situations
Legal and ethical considerations impacting pediatric care Unique
issues encountered in settings where pediatric therapies are
offered Using current evidence and the clinical reasoning process
for designing and modifying interventions Each section of Pediatric
Therapy offers case-based learning activities requiring
interprofessional collaboration for clinical reasoning to optimize
care. This approach encourages an appreciation of the importance of
holistic care, as well as an understanding of the roles, frames of
reference, and approaches favored by each discipline. Pediatric
therapists and others who work in healthcare and educational
settings will appreciate Pediatric Therapy: An Interprofessional
Framework for Practice as a guide for developing the
interprofessional competencies needed to achieve desired outcomes
for children and their families.
