Summary: Expensive, but worth it
Comment: This book, written in England, provides an outstanding description of the development of children and teenagers with cerebral palsy. The authors described the emotional, neurological, social, and motor control issues in a very clear and succinct way. I found this book to be more helpful in explaning developmental issues than several American reference books which are much longer than this book. I especially liked the description of the importance of play for young children.

Also good was the clear recognition that society unfairly puts the burden on individuals with disabilities to adjust to non-disabled norms, rather than making the adjustments necessary to fully integrate disabled people. For example, how many times do restaurant and hotel owners complain that it is "too expensive" to make their buildings accessible?

Well worth the money.
