Summary of the Chapter
This chapter describes the role of the pediatric specialist in the neurorehabilitation
process of the child that incorporates AT and its uses, applications, and indications. Two
case studies, a child with CP and one with TBI, illustrate how AT impacted the children's
development, recovery, and progress and how the pediatric specialist played an essential
role in this process.
