About the Book

Building Blocks for Learning Occupational Therapy Approaches is a resource book for educational staff and pediatric occupational therapists, especially those new to the field. It shows how the implications of physical, psychological, social, and learning difficulties impact upon children's abilities. This highly practical book will help readers recognize when a student's poor performance within the classroom is a result of a medical condition or underlying motor and perceptual deficits.
