This illustrated guidebook is designed for use with infants and young children with special needs including Developmental Delays, Neurological Conditions, Cerebral Palsy, Down Syndrome, Sensory Processing Disorders and others. You will learn about the benefits of massage, the medical needs to consider before giving a massage, reading the child's cues, and detailed massage strokes and modifications.

"At a time when technology is escalating rapidly, it is essential for professionals to ensure that the art of healing is balanced with the science of healing. Emphasis continues to be placed on family centered care, and the role of massage in bonding and attachment has been expanded. Then techniques so carefully described and illustrated are especially empowering for parents in creating successful interactions with their child."
