It's a very useful book for OT's practicing in the Pediatric area... As an OT student who wants to work in this particular area, it is a very good resource ... It talks about evaluations, interventions, teamwork, child development, health conditions and diagnostics and it's impact in children, legislations, etc. All from the Occupational Therapy way.

While I agree with the previous reviewer that the book is slow reading, I have many positive things to say about it as well. The book has a plethora of resources for students and practitioners alike, including readings, websites, etc. to augment eval/tx or to further explore a topic. Also, the fact that it's a brand-new edition means that everything is evidence-based and backed up by the latest research, meaning that what you read is best-practice. The book is also very comprehensive and covers all the "traditional" areas of OT plus new burgeoning areas of practice.

Not the easiest reading for a textbook. by Sean Slovik LMT (Satellite Beach, FL)

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" by Toni Thompson, MA , OTR/L (Tampa, FL USA)

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.
