This review is from: Hand Function in the Child: Foundations for Remediation, 1e (Hardcover)

When I finished to read this book, I could get more clear concept about children's hand function. In this book, there is excellent detail information about anatomical basis, sensory, perception, cognition for hand development in the many kinds of children. I got many useful things which makes me to more understand children who I concerned as occupational therapist.

This review is from: Hand Function in the Child: Foundations for Remediation, 1e (Hardcover)

I felt the book was well written and had an enormous amount of information, however it was not applicable to the special education program I work in. Although I am commited to my profession, I do not have time to read whole chapters in class or during a break. I would have preferred a more teacher/parent friendly book in order to assist others with treatment planning whenever our occupational therapists are not involved with the classroom.
