Academicians (in the systems chapters) and clinicians (in the sections on settings, supports, and case studies) provide a balance of theory and practice. Disease-specific case studies highlight multisystem involvement of many common pediatric diagnoses, build critical thinking skills, and demonstrate real-life applications. Content follows the practice patterns set by APTA's Guide to Physical Therapist Practice. Organizational structure uses the World Health Organization's International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health (ICF) model--the first text to do so. Narrated video recordings online with closed captioning of children with disabilities being evaluated and receiving intervention.
