Review
This very readable book focuses on the real life experiences of children with complex and continuing health needs and their families... I found all the chapter relevant to my everyday working life as part of multidisciplinary team in a Child Development Centre...It is very easy to dip into with clear, accurate chapter headings and a useful glossary. -- Speech & Language Therapy in Practice Advances in medicine have resulted in saving children's lives, but also increasing their psycho-social needs. The volume discusses the role of family members and caretakers in the long term management of a variety of conditions, prematurity, CP,etc. For pediatricians social workers and children's caretakers. -- Pediatric Endocrinology Reviews This book is moving and offers readers an insight into the difficult challenges families and care staff face when developing and supporting this group of children. I would recommend this book to parents, care staff and students that have limited knowledge and experience in this specialised area of support. A compelling read. -- PMLD-Link Journal
