About This Book

Recognized as the definitive reference in the field, this book addresses a broad range of biologically based disorders that affect children's learning and development. Leading authorities review the genetics of each disorder; its course and outcome; associated developmental, cognitive, and psychosocial challenges; and what clinicians and educators need to know about effective approaches to assessment and intervention. Coverage encompasses more frequently diagnosed learning and behavior problems

Our Review

This comprehensive reference work provides essential guidance on the full spectrum of neurodevelopmental and genetic conditions affecting children, from autism spectrum disorders and ADHD to less common genetic syndromes. Leading experts systematically examine each condition's genetic foundations, developmental trajectory, and associated cognitive and behavioral challenges, creating an indispensable resource for understanding these complex biologically based disorders. The book bridges research and practice by translating current scientific knowledge into practical assessment strategies and intervention approaches that directly support children's learning and developmental progress.

What distinguishes this handbook is its balanced integration of medical, psychological, and educational perspectives, offering clinicians and educators a unified framework for addressing children's needs across multiple domains. The evidence-based coverage extends beyond diagnosis to encompass practical intervention techniques and educational accommodations that can be implemented in clinical, school, and home settings. Professionals working with children who have special needs will find this updated edition particularly valuable for its current research findings and comprehensive treatment recommendations that directly inform supportive practices and therapeutic approaches.
