Management of Cerebal Palsy: A Transdisciplinary Approach

This book documents and builds on the experiences of a team of special educators in south India who have been experimenting with a new and better strategy for providing services to children with special needs. This approach is based on training rehabilitation workers in physiotherapy, occupational therapy, and speech and language therapy, thereby preparing them to serve as transdisciplinary workers. This equips them to offer a comprehensive treatment programme for a range of disabilities, as also for the families of children with special needs.
