Using clear accessible language (supported by an extensive glossary) the authors blend current science with metaphor both to explain the biomedical underpinning 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." - BOOK JACKET ER -
