Learning Disabilities: A Neuropsychological Perspective (Developmental Clinical Psychology and Psychiatry)

"The book is readable, and could well prove valuable to just starting educational psychologists, neuropsychologists, and so on, since it provides a structured framework for the assessment, diagnosis, and management of educationally evident learning difficulties in children." --Valerie Muter in Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry Discussing professional practice, subtypes of learning disabilities, and the dimensions of psychosocial functioning, the authors of this volume introduce a comprehensive, cohesive model of neuropsychological assessment and intervention that can be used for both children and adolescents. They also provide detailed case studies that exemplify the major subtypes of learning disabilities and illustrate the application of general principles for use in day-to-day practice. Clinical psychologists and others whose professional practice brings them into contact with children and adolescents who exhibit learning disabilities will find this volume superb in its scope, statement of the issues, and in its presentation of guidelines for helping this population.
