Riassunto:

Presents a comprehensive and interdisciplinary approach to understanding and diagnosing learning disabilities in children. With emphasis on those disorders most frequently seen in the clinic and classroom, the text surveys clinically-based classifications of learning disorders and offers general principles of diagnosis and management from biological, psychological, social and educational perspectives. Contains specific recommendations for management, including educational remediation, the use of drugs and psychological therapies. The coverage includes a broad range of opinions to provide alternative theoretical viewpoints and ideas. It concludes with a discussion of future research trends in the neurosciences that will have implications for learning disorders.

Product Description: This book deals with learning disorders in children: defining what constitutes learning disorders; classifying the types; reviewing the neuropsychological dysfunctions concomitant with each such type; diagnosis and assessment (multidisciplinary), encompassing psychological, educational, psychiatric and neurological elements; principles of remediation and management, pharmacological and psychotherapeutic; prevention; and a separate section on clinical patterns and intervention recommendations for the various types of learning disorder. Up-to-date research is reported throughout and case examples support the clinical sections. A final chapter deals with future directions for service and research.
