The book goes over specific procedures that are common diagnostic tests for a child with spina bifida and it also is great source of information regarding the physical differences a child with SB may have. It is a "must read" if you love someone with SB! Neurology, urology, orthopaedics and pediatrics are all covered somewhat. Great reference too!

While this book has lots of good and useful information, it's also obvious that the book was originally written ten years ago; some of the information, based on my recent experience, is dated. If you need resources on spina bifida, there aren't many, and I'd recommend picking this one up, but doublecheck any of the information in it against current practice before you act based upon it. The new introduction is nice, but the book could stand to be updated throughout.

This is an awesome book. I only wish that I had found this book before I had my baby. It would have helped me tremendously. I will use this book for years to come.
