Pediatric Neuropsychology

Pediatric Neuropsychology: Perspectives in an Ambulatory Care Setting provides an
overview of the most commonly seen conditions in outpatient settings
including ADHD, autism, congenital heart disease, blood cancer and
hematologic conditions, brain tumors, and epilepsy. Each chapter provides
up-to-date information on these pediatric neurodevelopmental and medical
disorders, including a review of the neuroanatomic contributions as well as
an overview of the neuropsychological findings. Alongside the neuroanatomic
and neuropsychological underpinnings, case examples and intervention recom­
mendations are provided for parents, educators and others who work with these
populations, to enhance the ecological validity of neuropsychological assessments.
With reference to the latest diagnostic criteria, this book is an invaluable
resource for neuropsychologists or neuropsychology students whose work
includes pediatric patients with neurodevelopmental and neuromedical disorders.
It is designed to provide practical information but also the most current research
in neurobiological and neuroanatomical contributions of these disorders to
inform the practitioner and enhance the care provided to their pediatric patients.
