Prechtl's Method provides a quick, non-invasive and cost-effective means of making early assessments of infants to identify any neurological deviations which may lead to cerebral palsy and other developmental deficits later on. The method has high reliability and validity.
There is a pressing need for a reliable way of recognising those infants who require treatment. Equally important is the need to provide parents with a realistic prediction of their child's development.
The DVD supplied with the book includes 15 short films which are invaluable examples of general movements as indicators of brain dysfunction.
