Reviews / Votes
"A diverse group of esteemed experts provides an outstanding summary on an impressive number of medical conditions that impact neuropsychological functioning in children and adolescents. Implications for academic functioning are illustrated eloquently by way of case examples and pertinent research findings that provide practitioners with a basis for planning appropriate testing batteries. This is a fantastic resource that provides a quick, yet thorough background for practitioners who see children and adolescents with a variety of medical conditions along with expectations for potential outcomes."Beth Colaluca, PhD, department of Neuropsychology/Neurosciences, Cook Children's Medical Center Fort Worth, Texas
"This is a handbook that clinicians will want to keep close as they navigate through the assessment and treatment of children and adolescents with neurodevelopmental disorders. It is a well written and clinically practical volume that will give the reader the essential information needed to guide differential diagnosis, assessment, and intervention approaches: An essential and hands-on resource for all levels of applied practice!"
