Review
'The book is user-friendly and includes clear diagrams in each section, along with tables to outline key points. I found these very useful and they are an easy reference/reminder, for example, they include a normal development chart, what assessments are available and their main aims.' ---National Association of Paediatric Occupational Therapists
