AB Taking  on  this  edition  as  a  solo  effort  has  been  an  interesting  challenge.  I  am  so  appreciative  for  the  support  of  many  friends  and  colleagues  who  have  helped  me  through  it.  I  am  indebted  to  those  who  contributed  to  writing  chapters—Jessica  Bell,  Marianne  Beninato,  Peter  Cahn,  Heather  Fritz,  Doug  Gross,  Cathy  Lysack,  and  David  Scalzitti.  I  am  thankful  to  John  Wong  for  many  hours  of  invaluable  guidance  on  statistics.  I  am  also  grateful  to  those  who  took  the  time  to  review  sections  of  the  book  and  provide  valuable  feedback—Marjorie  Nicholas,  Winnie  Dunn,  Lisa  Connor  and  Saurabh  Mehta  among  others.  I  also  want  to  acknowledge  the  long-time  support  of  colleagues  at  the  MGH  Institute  of  Health  Professions,  especially  Alex  Johnson,  Mary  Ellen  Ferolito,  Denis  Stratford  and  the  entire  IT  team,  as  well  as  the  graduate  assistants  Jasmin  Torres  and  Baothy  Huynh,  who  will  both  be  awesome  Doctors  of  Occupational  Therapy.  I  reserve  a  special  note  of  deep  appreciation  for  David  Scalzitti  who  has  reviewed  every  page  of  this  book  and  who  freely  offered  his  advice  along  the  way,  in  every  instance  providing  important  comments  to  make  things  more  accurate,  complete,  and  useful.  Many  of  his  “pearls”  are  included  in  the  text.  Additionally,  I’d  like  to  thank  David  for  creating  the  online  Test  Bank  questions  and  PowerPoint  slides.  Always  a  wonderful  colleague,  he  has  become  a  good  friend.
