The editors and writers of this book are doctors, educationalists, professionals and parents who are actively involved in the management and care of children and adults with special needs. They share from their vast pool of experience, covering not only the special conditions and related behaviours, but also the symptoms, treatment programmes and coping and adjustment issues. It is like having a private consultation with the doctors and professional counsellors themselves.
This book is a must-read for those who want to help children and adolescents reach their fullest potential.
