5.0 out of 5 stars
Perfect companion for the pediatric PT,
By Giselle (Washington, DC) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Handbook of Pediatric Physical Therapy (Long, Handbook of Pediatric Physical Therapy) (Paperback)
Although another edition is in the works, this is a great companion for the pediatric PT. It's chock full of information and you can easily throw it in your bag. I'm sure when the next version is coming out, because I'm sorry to say the present version has several minor edit errors and discusses old assessment tools, but if you can wait, wait for the next version.
It has information on a variety of information that the novice and ever-learning PT will need access to.
