GREAT REFERENCE FOR OT's IN PEDIATRIC PRACTICE September 15, 2008

It's a very useful book for OT's practicing in the Pediatric area... As an OT student who wants to work in this particular area, it is a very good resource ... It talks about evaluations, interventions, teamwork, child development, health conditions and diagnostics and it's impact in children, legislations, etc. All from the Occupational Therapy way.
 Comprehensive Resource for Peds OT February 22, 2006

While I agree with the previous reviewer that the book is slow reading, I have many positive things to say about it as well. The book has a plethora of resources for students and practitioners alike, including readings, websites, etc. to augment eval/tx or to further explore a topic. Also, the fact that it's a brand-new edition means that everything is evidence-based and backed up by the latest research, meaning that what you read is best-practice. The book is also very comprehensive and covers all the "traditional" areas of OT plus new burgeoning areas of practice.
 Not the easiest reading for a textbook. December 6, 2005

This is a very informative book and I will probably use it as a strong reference in years to come. It is not, however, a very easily read textbook. Some areas are repetative and make for very slow reading. Many times the author backs up her explanations citing studies. This is excellent in a reference book, however, as an introduction to an area of OT, it makes learning the subject matter laborious.
The book title says it all: "OT for Children" May 24, 2001

This resource provides an overview of many conditions found in pediatric treatment. The reviews of developmental progressions of all ADLs, pre-writing, fine motor, gross motor, cognitive, and other skills are presented both in concise, outline form and in paragraph form for more details. All chapters are well-organized, and focused on OT practice, while the section by Exner on the Development of Hand Skills is exceptional. This is a MUST HAVE resource for OT working in pediatrics.
