The text is well indexed and has an extensive glossary. Whilst new methods of diagnosis, investigation and treatment will, of course. occur over the next few years, the basics described in this book will still apply. Social workers, nursery nurses and educationalists will find this reference source invaluable as a basis for assessing needs and potential in their students and clients.
