Pain in Children and Adults with Developmental Disabilities

For clinicians, recognizing and correctly interpreting any patient's expression of pain is a challenge - but a necessity for timely and appropriate health care. If that patient has a developmental disability and self-report is unavailable, that challenge is magnified. That's why every clinician needs this landmark volume. The first to synthesize research about this critical topic, this book will help ensure that healthcare professionals are better prepared to assess and manage pain in children and adults with a range of disabilities.
