Product Description
Product Description
The future is brighter then ever for children with cerebral palsy -- the most common developmental disability among young people today. With advances in medicine, early intervention, and therapy, these children can maximise their potential and lead healthy, rewarding lives. But perhaps the most important influence of all comes from parents who provide constant support and encouragement. This is essential reading for all parents who want to learn about cerebral palsy and how it will affect their child and family.

This is one of the first books I've read on cerebal palsy. It is the most excellent resource I've found thus far. It is factual, has many resources, pictures and little excerpts of parents real life thoughts on dealing with their child and their disability. Easy to read, not heart-breaking, but very encouraging. Helps you to realize there are many options out there and a lot of hope for your child.
A satisfying book for parents of children who have just been diagnosed with cerebral palsy. If you are dealing with your child's cerebral palsy for more than a year, probably you already are acquainted with most of the topics. Very useful for parents in the United States (includes information about therapy groups, addresses, legal rights, manufacturers of products for children with special needs etc, in the U.S) but this information does not appeal to families who live in other countries

A wonderful resource for parents of CP kids!!
18 Jan 2001
One of our triplets has mild CP and we have struggled with many issues dealing with her day-to-day care and health issues. This book provides almost ALL the answers to the questions that we as parents of a CP child. I highly recommend this book.

One to keep and refer to for years!
1 April 2000
This book has been extremely helpful since the words cerebral palsy were first breathed to us when our daughter was ten months old and I still refer to it from time to time five years later! Easy to read and understand with out being condescending. A wonderful, wonderful resource for parents.
