Description

This classic, coauthored by New York Times columnist and paediatrician Dr. Perri Klass, has been fully revised and updated to reflect the recent significant changes in the recognition and care of children whose development doesn't go as expected.

It includes new information about therapeutic interventions, managing co-morbidities, and getting support for children with developmental differences at school. Additional information covers community resources, initiatives at hospitals, clinics, and even theme parks, that make life easier for children with developmental differences and their families.

The authors also offer a stronger focus on self-care for parents in this new edition, with the paediatrician's perspective of supporting families as they go through the diagnostic process over time.
