G A • Avital resource to professionals and lay individuals both within and outside PB the health care system. ETERIE RL • It will also beof interest to researchers in clinical and social sciences.

We wish to express to them our love and affection, and to thank them for a lifetime of support as we have developed and pursued our interests as physicians, mentors, researchers and authors. We have tried to infuse the book with the life lessons we have learned together with our families, promoting themes of love, compassion, hope, resilience, and achievement that we believe are viable for people with neurological and developmental conditions.
