“This book offers an overview of the presentation, assessment, and treatment of obesity in children with neurodevelopmental disorders, and intertwines empirical and clinical knowledge to offer practical strategies for providers. … it will serve as a solid initial resource for providers less familiar with practice or research in this area. For primary care providers, the book is an excellent starting point, with key considerations for treatment planning prior to engaging outside clinical experts.” (Emily S. Kuschner, Doody's Book Reviews, July, 2017)
