 Great Resource December 20, 2009
Meg (Seattle, WA)
A great, in-depth review for OT/PT/SLP professionals if you want more details than many other similar options. Used it to help study for the ATP exam and use it regularly as a resource for unfamiliar circumstances. Not really geared for families/consumers of assistive technology.
Great condition, timely delivery February 11, 2010

This product arrived in the condition as advertised and in a timely manner. I was very pleased, and would deal with the shipper again.

A good book for rehabilitation practitioneers, although it can get a little too much over the place. Cook likes to explain things with tons of detail which may be good if you need a quick handbook, or bad if you need a course reader

the book wasn't just used it was highlighted and underlined, except that the underline was THROUGH the words no under them. Annoying.
