Review
“This excellent book provides a much needed practical manual the authors’ extensive clinical experience and their warm enthusiasm with this group of children are reflected throughout the entire text, making the book a great pleasure to read. I fully recommend this resource manual. This book should be a must in every agency that happens to meet children with SM and their families.”
