Main description:

A groundbreaking text for occupational therapists, Adaptation, Coping, and Resilience in Children and Youth: A Comprehensive Occupational Therapy Approach offers a different perspective in addressing the ways children and youth with a variety of conditions and personal contexts can have more optimized participation in everyday life. This text is essential for occupational therapy graduate students, instructors, and pediatric clinicians.

Drs. Lenin C. Grajo and Angela K. Boisselle provide a comprehensive, strength-based approach in addressing the ability of children to adjust to a variety of challenges encountered in daily life across multiple environments and contexts. Adaptation, Coping, and Resilience in Children and Youth includes best and evidence-based practices for assessment and intervention.

Included in the book:

*Collaborative approach with families
*How to build relationships through interprofessional collaboration (teachers, health care team, and community)
*Global perspectives of adaptation, coping, and resilience
*Case applications and essential considerations for occupational therapists

The text also covers underexplored contexts such as those who have been bullied, children and youth who are LGBTQ and gender expansive, children and youth of color, those who live as a member of a migrant family, and those who have lived with and through adverse childhood experiences.

Adaptation, Coping, and Resilience in Children and Youth: A Comprehensive Occupational Therapy Approach is a necessary text that offers timely best and evidence-based practices for assessment and intervention for occupational therapy students and professionals.
