Cerebral palsy is a lifelong condition that affects the individual, family, and immediate community. Therefore, the goal of allowing the individual with cerebral palsy to live life with the least impact of the disability requires c- plex attention to the individual and the family. Furthermore, society needs to be sensitive and to accommodate individuals with disabilities by limiting architectural impediments and providing accessible public transportation and communication. The educational system provides the key means for helping the individual prepare to function in society to his or her maximum ability. In many ways, the medical care system probably has the least sign- icant role in preparing the child with cerebral palsy to function optimally in society. However, the medical care system is the place where parents first learn that their child has developmental issues outside the expected norm. It is almost universally the place where parents also expect the child to be made normal in our modern society. In earlier times, the parents would expect healing to possibly come from the doctor, but also they would place hope for healing in religion. As this belief in spiritual or miraculous healing has - creased, a significant font of hope has decreased for parents of young ch- dren with disabilities.

Industry Reviews

From the reviews: "This book was written by an orthopedic surgeon and the contents is broad, covering the etiology and overall medical management of cerebral palsy, with the longest chapter devoted to gait. ! In addition, there are quizzes to test the reader's knowledge. This is a wonderful teaching tool. ! This is valuable for all clinicians ! . this book will be useful for physicians who are new to the area of cerebral palsy ! ." (Eileen Fowler, Journal of the American Medical Association, Vol. 298 (20), 2007)
