After taking the class with this book , I feel prepared to work in a pediatric setting as a beginner. I am hanging on to this book until after I pass the boards as I feel it will be helpful for studying.
I just started working in a pediatric clinic for my first COTA job. This book helped me problem solve and develop pediactric skills I needed to care for the wide variety of kids who I saw daily
Great book but very expensive
