The text is liberally illustrated with examples of the many syndromes described.

Review Summary: Helpful information but...
Date: 2005-09-09
Details: I think the information presented is helpful, for our field, and concise. However for the money I paid I would like nice quality photos. All the photos are pixelated and while it may not matter in terms of identifying a syndrome, I'm not sure why they felt the need to skimp on this part. Cell phone cameras take better pictures than those in this book.
Review Summary: handy reference
Date: 2004-01-26
Details: I am an SLP at a special needs preschool. My colleagues and I (including OTs, PTs, psychologist, etc.) frequently refer to this book. It's easy to look up a syndrome by name or by characteristics. The entries are concise and easy to understand. The syndrome is described, and then characteristics such as speech/language disorders, physical features, differential diagnosis, history and prognosis are given. It's probably not the most comprehensive book out there, but we find it very handy for the population we serve.
