Review: Parents as Partners - Reading this book, I felt excited for colleagues and families who will have this compact amazing resource at their fingertips. The book has been written to give parents the tools to be equal partners in the management of their child. It is packed with rich lists of evidence-based references and useful weblinks for the management and treatment of the child, adolescent and adult with bilateral spastic diplegia cerebral palsy. It focuses on the impact motor problems have on walking. It does not therefore attempt to deal with the early management of the baby or very young child with spastic diplegia cerebral palsy. However, the author does make a plea for a diagnosis to be given as early as possible to allay fears and frustrations experienced by parents and for them to able to proceed with knowledge. She reports on a growing body of evidence demonstrating that the brain is capable of recovery after an injury. The consistent format of each chapter, the paragraph lengths, the explanations and the inspirational little quotes provide for a very accessible book for everyone. In addition to being a book to help parents to understand the language surrounding cerebral palsy this book highlights the research conducted to date and the very great need for further research into all areas of development, from the infant with cerebral palsy through to adulthood.

Review: A must read book for professionals, parents and all carers - This is an excellent book absolutely 5 stars. I have a son with cp myself (10years now)and upon reading the book I wished it had been available when my son was young when I was desperately seeking information and advice but I feel so lucky to have found it now as the book touches on every challenge as well aspect of care from childhood to adulthood . The dept of understanding of the author (as she is a parent herself) is papalibe throughout the book.One of the most outstanding achievement of this book in my opinion is how the clinical condition and the advice for life are delivered in a manner that is accessible to all.I couldn't praise this book enought and what a gift the author has brought to the world of cerebral palsy, spastic diplegia through her indept understanding, incredible insight and vast clinical knowledge and expertise.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This book is a "MUST READ' if you know a child that has Spastic Diplegia Bilateral Cerebral Palsy.
*by B***E on 3 April 2020*

To the ordinary person like myself a diagnosis of Spastic Diplegia Bilateral Cerebral Palsy is very scary. As a non medic it seems there is nothing you can do. The worst possible outcomes are foremost in your mind. Lily's Book helps you to face the fear. Tommy's Story is inspirational. I have to admit the title of the book scared me a bit I thought it would be too Technical. I actually read all the pink boxes first-Tommy's personal journey, from the time they got the news that their beautiful child had CP. The family rose to the challenge. Solutions were found to every new problem that spastic diplegia threw at him during childhood and adolescence and Tommy was empowered to become the Independent young man he is today. Every parents dream. It was also interesting to read other peoples stories. This book gives everyone the benefit of one woman's amazing research into Spastic Diplegia Bilateral Cerebral Palsy. I think it is an inspirational handbook for any person with this condition. It is written in a way that, every parent, grandparent, or friend of someone with this condition could read and use as a reference book . A MUST READ for medics as well to understand the parents and child's point of view.
