Reviews

'Occupational therapist Gay Kuchta and physiotherapist Iris Davidson have worked together in paediatric rheumatology for 20 years and this easy to use, comprehensive and practical manual aimed at the busy clinician is a culmination of this wealth of knowledge and experience[...] This book symbolises the collaborative and transdisciplinary approach that is essential when working with children and young people with rheumatic illness in order to maximise their potential. The book will be a valuable resource for both paediatric occupational therapists and physiotherapists.' JANINE HACKETT, BRITISH JOURNAL OF OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY
