Featuring a foreword by C. Everett Koop, this book is the most authoritative and comprehensive resource guide on the market for therapists and other health care professionals who service children with disabilities and chronic illness. The book is organized into sections describing the affected population, legal and administrative issues, solutions and chronic conditions, and contains an appendix with an up-to-date list of resources for health care providers who work with the children affected. Above all else, it emphasizes solutions rather than problems.
