Children With Cerebral Palsy: A Manual for Therapists, Parents and Community Workers - Softcover

9780761935605: Children With Cerebral Palsy: A Manual for Therapists, Parents and Community Workers

Synopsis

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.
