Information helps!
This book is a must have for any person who cares for a child who has any form of cerebral palsey.I rarely if ever heard the term cerebral palsey used to describe my child by any health care professional.My child was six years old when I picked up a copy of this book out of curiosity at a childrens hospital,read the whole book,happy to have good information, angry because of not having the information sooner.I immediately shot some expressive words to any doctor or surgeon who came into visit with our family.Why hadn’t this book ever been something offered to us as helpful information.So what if I’d taken offense to the term cerebral palsey!The facts are he has a form of brain damage which in turn is just that cerebral palsey!This could have helped me out with so much in those first three years of his precious life.Better late than never, but should still be a must read to parents or care givers who enter a child into a birth to three prgram.

Children With Cerebral Palsy: A Parents’s Guide
This book is informative and an excellent resource for families with a child who has been diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy. When my grandson was recently diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy, I had no idea what it was or how to deal with it. A friend gave me a copy of Children With Cerebral Palsy: A Parents’ Guide and I started reading it immediately. It helped me understand what Cerebral Palsy is and provided information that helped me obtain intervention and appropriate therapy to help my grandson. It included information about the rights of individuals with special needs as well as suggestions in planning for the future as children with special needs approach life as an adult. I continue to use this book on a regular basis as a resource guide in helping my grandson develop to his full potential.

Great for parents of CP kids
If you have a child with CP I highly recommend this book. It goes over every aspect of their life. You don’t even have to read the whole thing, (at once) you can just look in the table of contents and go over whatever specific subject you are looking for at the moment. Very informative. However it is an older book so times have changed but still a great book for the most part.

a wonderful resource
This book is thoughtfully and thoroughly written. It provides a wealth of information and resource on the many issues of raisng and caring for a child with Cerebal Palsy. I am a Registered Nurse and found the information to be clear, helpful, and direct. Each chapter has parents’ statements which can be reassuring and insightful. It’s always nice to hear you’re not alone in what you are going through, thinking, and feeling. The book will teach you many things and it can help you to get organized in care planning for your child. It also addresses taking into condsideration the necessity of caring for yourself and other members of your family. I am the Mama of two boys, 31 and 17 mo. old. My older son has mild CP.

Thank you
My grandson was born 15 weeks early. He has experienced a grade 4 brain bleed that has thankfully resorbed. The doctors has said that he will have some form of CP. I haven’t read the book, but from what I have read it will be very helpful for my family in whatever Gabriel will experience.

A must read
If you know a child with cerebral palsy, this is a very informative book. A must have. It will explain all the issues in education that you need to be aware of so that your child can get what is needed from the schools to prepare your child for his/her education.
