This classic, coauthored by New York Times columnist and pediatrician
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
pediatrician's perspective of supporting families as they go through the
diagnostic process over time.
