Produktbeschreibung

Capute and Accardo's Neurodevelopmental Disabilities in Infancy and Childhood, Fourth Edition provides updated foundational, theoretical, and practical knowledge on the spectrum and continuum of neurodevelopmental disabilities shaped by ongoing advances in neuroscience and related disciplines. It reviews the over-arching principles of assessment, diagnosis, and management of patients with a wide range of neurodevelopmental disabilities. Streamlined or fully rewritten chapters, including developmental screening and surveillance, neuroimaging and genetic evaluation, early intervention, principles of pharmacological treatment, principles of successful management programs, aging and transition planning, telemedicine and care in low-resource settings are included. The book's practical, expert-led approach aims to prepare future clinicians to skillfully assess and manage children with neurodevelopmental disabilities with the aid of clinical approach flowcharts to common presentations, diagnostic algorithms and clinic notes templates.
