As the title suggests, A Birth that Changed a Nation: A New Model of Care and Inclusion, is a book that discusses a well established model, which provides a holistic approach for care and inclusion for persons with cerebral palsy and their families. The model was initially established in Mumbai and then replicated in different parts of the country, as people found it important to bring such persons into mainstream society. Children with cerebral palsy (CP) were considered a burden on their families, society and nation as there was no knowledge or mechanisms to address their needs. This model has given new hope to including such children in the frame of development. It not only addresses their health and educational needs, but also extends services to support the psycho-social and economic needs of such people. This book highlights the holistic development approach of the model and how it brought about changes in the lives of people with disability and their families. The reader can easily visualize the model that has evolved through learning and goes beyond the elements of health, education and care of children with cerebral palsy. Strategies adopted by this model such as building professional skills, framing inclusive policies for development and providing the required infrastructure so that people with disability can live independently and with dignity, have been clarified and defined for the layperson. Many success stories of children with cerebral palsy have been cited, which further strengthens the authenticity of the model. I quote:

改变一个国家的出生：一种新的关怀和包容模式

正如标题所暗示的那样，《改变一个国家的出生：护理和包容的新模式》是一本讨论完善模型的书，该模式为脑瘫患者及其家人提供了一种护理和包容的整体方法。该模式最初在孟买建立，然后在该国不同地区复制，因为人们发现将这些人带入主流社会很重要。脑瘫 (CP) 儿童被认为是家庭、社会和国家的负担，因为没有知识或机制来满足他们的需求。这种模式为将这些儿童纳入发展框架带来了新的希望。它不仅满足他们的健康和教育需求，而且还扩展服务以支持这些人的心理社会和经济需求。本书重点介绍了该模式的整体发展方法以及它如何给残疾人及其家庭的生活带来变化。读者可以轻松地将通过学习发展起来的模型形象化，并超越脑瘫儿童的健康、教育和护理要素。该模式采用的战略，例如培养专业技能、制定包容性发展政策和提供所需的基础设施，以便残疾人能够独立和有尊严地生活，已经为非专业人士澄清和定义。引用了许多脑瘫儿童的成功案例，进一步加强了模型的真实性。我引用：
