The purpose of this text is to integrate theory, assessment, and treatment using functional outcomes and a problem-solving approach. The chapters intergrate case studies of four children and the application of principles discussed throughout the text as they apply to children. The guide opens with an overview of neural organization and movement, which begins natural progression for the rest of the text.
