Rezensionen

"This book is eminently readable and offers a wealth of knowledge to inform occupational therapy researchers and practitioners who work with disabled children and their families. Occupational therapy students interested in paediatric interventions will find this book a particularly useful resource to complement biomedical knowledge and enrich their understanding of the complexities involved in providing familycentred service." (Gail Teachman, Canadian Journal of Occupational Therapy, 2015)

"In this dynamic and interdisciplinary text the authors have succeeded in substantively addressing questions associated with theory, identity, inclusion, access and family as they intersect with the lives of disabled children. While this work emerges from the Nordic context, the significant themes and findings of the book will resonate with disabilityresearchers, activists and policy makers across the globe." (Dan Goodley, University of Sheffield, UK)
