This might be the book that special educators won't know they're missing until they crack it open. It has a wealth of information on disorders found in early intervention and special education--disorders that most teachers wish they knew more about. The focus on the interaction of neuropsychology and genetics is especially valuable for special educators. Students should have this book to prepare them for assessing and teaching all kinds of learners, and they should keep it as a reference when they are inservice.--R. A. McWilliam, PhD, Director, Siskin Center for Child and Family Research, Chattanooga, Tennessee
An excellent introduction to the science and practice underlying the assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of children with complex neurodevelopmental conditions. The Handbook is a terrific resource for clinicians in training, both in the classroom and when they are on externship or internship, as well as for those currently in practice. This updated second edition will become a 'go-to guide' for pediatric and clinical child neuropsychologists.--Scott J. Hunter, PhD, Director, Pediatric Neuropsychology, and Director, Clinical Psychology Training Program, Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Neuroscience, University of Chicago
Having used the prior edition as a course text, I am very excited to see this second edition. Goldstein and Reynolds have maintained the level of excellence of the original work but have expanded the coverage to include all of the most frequent referrals for children. At the same time, the text provides coverage of low-incidence disabilities as well. This is an outstanding volume written by an impressive collection of scholars.--Cynthia A. Riccio, PhD, Department of Educational Psychology, Texas A&M University
This comprehensive handbook integrates the genetic and neurological aspects of neurodevelopmental conditions with the neuropsychological aspects. This excellent resource provides developmentalists and all clinicians who care for children with a better understanding and broader picture of neurodevelopmental conditions.--Mark L. Wolraich, MD, CMRI/Shaun Walters Professor of Pediatrics and Director, Child Study Center, University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center
- The chapters are uniformly well written and cohesive; treatment recommendations follow nicely from the neuropsychological assessment strategies....Goldstein and Reynold's text succeeds marvelously in providing a comprehensive resource on genetic disorders and neurodevelopment in childhood. The book is to be recommended to clinicians including child psychiatrists, pediatric neurologists, general and behavioral pediatricians, child psychologists and neuropsychologists, and especially those who may be several years out of training and wish to update their knowledge of the relationship between genetics and neuropsychology. For the practicing clinician involved in the day-to-day assessment and treatment of children, this text is a required resource. --American Journal of Psychiatry, 6/3/2002 A most useful addition to clinic and departmental libraries as an up-to-date reference volume on these important conditions. I shall also be recommending it to trainees as a good introduction to this range of developmental disorders and current knowledge and thinking about them. --Child Psychology and Psychiatry Review, 6/3/2010
