Overview
Broad in scope and meticulous in detail, these two volumes encompass the third edition of this textbook for neurodevelopmental pediatrics. Written by physician experts, these volumes discuss the epidemiology, etiology, assessment, and treatment of a range of neurodevelopmental disabilities in infants and children. Volume I offers an extensive discussion of the scientific basis, etiologies, assessment, and practice issues for neurodevelopmental disabilities. Volume II explores a broad range of specific disorders describing their effects from infancy through adolescence and explaining the latest assessment and intervention strategies for each. This edition emphasizes the training needs of people entering pediatrics programs in neurodevelopmental disabilities. The contents of each volume have been expanded to provide more coverage of emerging topics. Specific changes include a separate section on autism and separate discussions of learning disorders and attention disorders.
