Educating Students with Cerebral Palsy

Cerebral palsy is the most common physically disabling condition affecting school-age students. Why, then, are so many educators and parents confounded by the multiple and often interrelated aspects of this group of disorders? Using easy-to-follow, demystifying language, Educating Students with Cerebral Palsy details how the physical, medical, sensory, cognitive, and social-emotional elements of cerebral palsy impact learning-and therefore teaching-both at school and at home. Author Adine R. Usher, EdD, and her contributors emphasize the need for collaboration between educators and families, and they spotlight the voices of students and parents living with the hopes and challenges of cerebral palsy each day.
