A large number of children in developing countries are born with or develop cerebral palsy. The problem is made worse by inadequate knowledge and treatment facilities. As a result, thousands of children with cerebral palsy live in burdensome dependence upon their families. This tragic situation can be avoided to a great extent by giving treatment early in the child s life and also by guiding families on how to manage the children in ways that help them become independent.
This book is a practical guide designed to help therapists and community workers understand and effectively treat children with cerebral palsy. It focuses on:
- adequately assessing children with cerebral palsy
- designing treatment programmes that can be carried out in partnership with parents and community workers
- assessing and managing eating and drinking difficulties
- making simple and cost-effective equipment
- designing appropriate play activities during therapy
- evaluating and dealing with sensory integration problems in children with cerebral palsy
- closer integration of theory and practical skills.
