• Comprehensive Resource for Peds OT
  While I agree with the previous reviewer that the book is slow reading, I have many positive things to say about it as well.

• Not the easiest reading for a textbook.
  This is a very informative book and I will probably use it as a strong reference in years to come. It is not, however, a very easily read textbook. Some areas are repetative and make for very slow reading. Many times the author backs up her explanations citing studies. This is excellent in a reference book, however, as an introduction to an area of OT, it makes learning the subject matter laborious.

• The book title says it all: "OT for Children"
  This resource provides an overview of many conditions found in pediatric treatment. The reviews of developmental progressions of all ADLs, pre-writing, fine motor, gross motor, cognitive, and other skills are presented both in concise, outline form and in paragraph form for more details. All chapters are well-organized, and focused on OT practice, while the section by Exner on the Development of Hand Skills is exceptional. This is a MUST HAVE resource for OT working in pediatrics.

• essential reading
  As a Paediatric Occupational Therapist I find this book a valuable resource in my department.
