Children are being identified with more neurodevelopmental disorders than in previous decades and understanding these medically complex disorders has become critical as more children are living with these disorders.
This pediatric treatment guide provides cutting-edge research and intervention recommendations for professionals working with children and adolescents. A team of contributors with diverse experience portray medically complex information and neurodevelopmental disorders in an accessible manner. Chapters include information on a range of disorders, such as: cystic fibrosis, diabetes, epilepsy, meningitis, chronic fatigue, and more. Each disorder’s physical and neurological manifestations are explored, as well as how the disorder is diagnosed and treated, and information regarding appropriate assessment and intervention. A list of further resources is included at the end of most chapters.
This book is essential for practitioners working with children, including clinical psychologists, school psychologists, child neuropsychologists, clinical and school social workers, school nurses, pediatricians, and graduate students in training within various pediatric specialties.
“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.”
