Produktbeschreibung

Written expressly for non-neuropsychologists, this book offers a concise, friendly introduction to the developing brain and its functions. The author renders complex concepts accessible as he describes the structure of the brain and the workings of the nervous system. The book explains how findings from neuropsychological assessments can help educators and clinicians to better understand and remediate children's difficulties. A range of neurodevelopmental and medical conditions that affect learning and behavior from early childhood through adolescence are explored through a neuropsychological lens. Helpful features include key Take-Home Points and recommended print and online resources.
