many workers will appreciate the updated information and analyses that some chapters provide ... The editors have succeeded in providing a readable, organized and expert view of the issues surrounding some of the long-term functional consequences of brain injury in children ... the book can be strongly recommended to our colleagues in neurophsychology, developmental pediatrics, and rehabilitation who study outcomes of or provide therapies to traumatically brain-injured children. * Thomas G.
