I found this book to be the most comprehensive compulation that I have come across in a long time. It was facinating. My fiends were laughing at me for reading it nightly before I went to bed. Then again I am a dietitian to the core. The chapters were full of facts you just can’t find anywhere. The charts and appendicies were equally helpful. As a dietitian for Early Intervention is is nice to have ONE book you can look to for information about some of these really rare metabolic disorders.

A practical review of growth and nutrition for children with disabilities. Significant space is dedicated to nutritional evaluation in the beginning of the text. This is followed by many chapters for specific conditions that are found in the developmentally disabled pediatric population. The Appendices cover (but are not limited to) the RDA’s and the RNI’s, several condition specific growth charts, sample records and protocols, and quality assurance standards. If you work with this population you should have access to the Ekvall text.
