Treatment of Cerebral Palsy and Motor Delay Sixth Edition

Treatment of Cerebral Palsy and Motor Delay is a highly practical, easy-to-read resource for
all paediatric practitioners and students working with the developmental abilities and
difficulties of children, providing a thorough overview of cerebral palsy and its treatment.
The sixth edition has been thoroughly revised and updated to integrate the latest evidencebase on motor control and motor learning, whilst still retaining Sophie Levitt’s eclectic, holistic
and functional approach. It includes greater detail on paediatric occupational therapy,
classification systems, the latest systematic reviews of research, as well as an expanded
chapter on adolescents and adults with cerebral palsy. The chapter on equipment has also
been increased so as to be of further relevance to occupational therapists.
Supported by clear diagrams and photographs, as well as summaries to consolidate learning,
it outlines therapeutic approaches and suggests treatment and management options,
providing a wealth of practical information. The book promotes positive relationships between
therapists, people with cerebral palsy and their families
