I am an SLP at a special needs preschool. My colleagues and I (including OTs, PTs, psychologist, etc.) frequently refer to this book. It's easy to look up a syndrome by name or by characteristics. The entries are concise and easy to understand. The syndrome is described, and then characteristics such as speech/language disorders, physical features, differential diagnosis, history and prognosis are given. It's probably not the most comprehensive book out there, but we find it very handy for the population we serve.
