‘The book is a wonderful and much-needed addition to the corpus of
scientifically based literature on learning and learning
disabilities, especially reading disability.’

A comprehensive reference on the theory and practice of
evidence-based school neuropsychology
As new studies reveal disorders once thought behavioral or
functional to be neurobiological or neurochemical in nature,
clinical child neuropsychology has developed as an important
discipline for understanding and treating a variety of child and
adolescent disorders. With neuropsychological assessment more
widely used in school settings than ever before, school
psychologists require greater knowledge of both the discipline and
its application in a school environment.
Bridging theory and practice, the Handbook of School
Neuropsychology provides critical information on neuroanatomy,
assessment, and practical, evidence-based interventions for a
variety of childhood neuropsychological difficulties and
disabilities. Featuring contributions from leading experts, this
groundbreaking resource covers all aspects of school
neuropsychology, from training and credentialing, assessment, and
intervention to understanding and serving students with specific
disorders or diseases.
This hands-on resource also features an appendix filled with useful
tools, including a comprehensive neuropsychological questionnaire,
sample neuropsychological evaluations, a list of associations, as
well as sample neuropsychologically based IEPs.
The text presents the material in five sections, covering:
* Foundations of school neuropsychological practice
* Development, structure, and functioning of the brain
* Neuropsychological assessment for intervention
* Understanding and serving learners with diseases and disorders
and from special populations
* Neuropsychological interventions in schools
The most comprehensive reference on the theory and practice of
school neuropsychology, the Handbook of School Neuropsychology is
an indispensable tool for school and child psychologists, special
education professionals, and students in both fields.
