Dedicatio
To Dr. Gabriella Molnar, a recognized founder of our field of pediatric rehabilitation medicine.
Dr. Molnar created our first textbook, edited the subsequent two editions, and wrote numerous state-of-the-art textbook reviews for the Child with Physical Disability. After escaping from Hungary in 1956 from the Russian occupation and communist regime, Dr. Molnar displayed much foresight and courage throughout her professional career. Her guiding principle has always been that children are not miniature adults, but individuals with changing physical, intellectual, and emotional abilities and needs. At every age, therefore, the principles of rehabilitation medicine have to be adapted to these changing aptitudes. Beginning as a resident at Albert Einstein College of Medicine, Dr. Molnar quickly rose through the ranks from faculty instructor to full tenured professor, while developing and running the Pediatric Rehabilitation Medicine Service. Concluding her career at Children’s Hospital and Research Center in Oakland, California, where she created a new Department of Pediatric Rehabilitation Medicine, she finished training her last of over 50 domestic and international fellows. Her speaking career has included invitations from all over the world, including Australia, Europe, Asia, and England. She has served on the editorial boards for the Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation from 1976 to 1994 and Developmental Medicine and Child Neurology from 1992 to 1997. She is a recipient of the Krusen Award from the American Academy of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (AAPMR), the highest honor obtainable for proven performance in clinical expertise, contributions to the literature, and administration in the field of rehabilitation medicine. Simply stated, Dr. Molnar defines the standard for the rest of us to follow.This page intentionally left blank
