This book will help hospital-based clinicians understand the climate and issues surrounding the delivery of community services to those patients they see only in a hospital setting." Diane Playford, The Lancet, Neurology

We highly recommend this book." Lucia Willadino Braga, Marc A. Forman, Pediatric Rehabilitation
