When a child has a health problem, parents want answers. But when a child has cerebral palsy, the answers don’t come quickly. A diagnosis of this complex group of chronic conditions affecting movement and coordination is difficult to make and is typically delayed until the child is eighteen months old. Although the condition may be mild or severe, even general predictions about long-term prognosis seldom come before the child’s second birthday. Written by a team of experts associated with the Ce

Wow! After almost five years of parenting a child with CP, I’ve discovered a book that answers all my questions! This book goes into detail on everything you want to know–the medical aspects of high tone/low tone, when various surgeries are necessary and what results you can expect, the different types of AFO’s and equipment, lots of other stuff. If you have a child with CP, you’ll want this book. I only wish they had come out with a second edition by now. (Sept. 2003) Also includes an extensive encyclopedia. If you’ve been craving detailed information and answers, this is what you’ve been looking for.

Dr. Miller and Dr. Bachrach have written a wonderful book. Dr. Miller was actually my daugther’s ortho doctor until he took time off to help write this book. Dr. Bachrach is currently treating my daughter. I love the fact that they have made this book easy to understand and that it answers questions that you might never think to ask while you are in the clinic with your child.

Co-authored by medical doctors Freeman Miller and Steven Bachrach, Cerebral Palsy: A Complete Guide For Caregiving, 2nd Edition is a `must’ for any family struggling with CP care: it provides parents with answers ranging form understanding areas of involvement and basic care issues to understanding medical terminology commonly used. An A-Z encyclopedia helps define these terms, diagnoses and procedures, while discussions delve into regulations, assessments of condition, and the latest research. The wealth of details are organized logically and parents will find it easy to navigate, making it an item of choice above others.

I have never reviewed anything on Amazon, although I’ve purchased hundreds of items through them, but I just HAD to review this book. It is truly wonderful! It’s so informative and well written. It explains medical terms so that it is easily understood by the average person. As a parent of a child with CP, this book answered all of my questions. I HIGHLY recommend!

I gave this review 3 stars, because this book is really not what it claims to me – a guide for caregiving. What it *is* is an excellent reference that describes cerebral palsy fully, the medical implications, and treatment options. I does not go into detail about caregiving – things I would be looking for with this title are safe bathing techniques, how to administer meds, safe feeding techniques, transporting, etc. I think it’s a decent reference – although you can probably find most of this info on the web these days. But if you are looking for specific caregiving information, this is not it.
