Presents and reviews outcome measures across a wide range of attributes that are applicable to children and youth with developmental disabilities. The book uses the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) as a framework for organizing the various measures into sections and chapters. Each chapter coincides with domains within Body Functions, Activities and Participation, and Personal and Environmental Factors. Advances in measurement using neuroimaging technologies and genetic testing are also included, as are chapters addressing broad measures of health and quality of life. Each chapter provides a representative sample of useful measures, with more detailed descriptions of those with the best properties and potential utility. Most chapters follow a prescribed format: what is the construct, general factors to consider when measuring this domain; and overview of recommended measures. This book will be invaluable for clinicians and educators seeking an appropriate, psychometrically sound measure in a particular domain of functioning that can be used with an individual child or target population. The book will also be a useful resource for researchers in the field of childhood disability. Annette Majnemer is an occupational therapist with doctoral training in the neurosciences. She is currently Professor and Interim Director, School of Physical & Occupational Therapy, McGill University; Associate Editor of Developmental Medicine & Child Neurology and Co-editor of Physical and Occupational Therapy in Pediatrics. Her educational and scientific contributions were recently acknowledged by the Muriel Driver Award from the Canadian Association of Occupational Therapists. She is a nominated fellow of the Canadian Academy of Health Sciences.

Book condition
An important factor of a second-hand book is the condition of the book. The buyer may not be surprised. Always mention damages or defects. We use a system with 3 stars:
The book is acceptable: you have used it to study and made notes and markings – but everything is still readable. The cover and pages are in good condition.
The book still looks good: there are a few notes in it and you marked it. There are hardly any signs of use on the cover and pages
The book is (almost) new: you have not written or marked in it. There are no signs of use on the cover and pages
