From Library Journal
Dividing his handbook into five parts, Batshaw, a pediatrician who works with children with developmental disabilities, discusses the diagnosis of a handicap, genetic and other causes of developmental disabilities, practical information on individual diseases and syndromes, approaches to therapy, and social, legal, and educational decisions with a disabled child. Additional readings amplify and enhance the content of each chapter. Batshaw presents a significant amount of material in a clear and concise manner, and his responsible, capable, and supportive approach will help parents meet the challenge of caring for a child with greater needs. Highly recommended.
