The physician’s guide to diagnosing and treating learning
disabilities in children
1 in 10 Canadians have a learning disability, and doctors must
be able to identify, diagnose, treat, and manage children who are
struggling in school. The first book specifically tailored for the
needs of physicians working with kids with learning disabilities,
Children With School Problems: A Physician’s Manual covers
such important areas as child development, diagnosing learning
disabilities (including data gathering, screening and assessment,
and physical examinations), management (medication, behavioral
management, and educational interventions), and prevention
(including literacy promotion).
Written by trusted experts from the Canadian Paediatric Society,
Children With School Problems is filled with practical tools
and resources that physicians–including paediatricians,
family physicians, and paediatric learners–can use to
diagnose and treat children with learning disabilities.
* The only book on learning disabilities in children specifically
designed for physicians
* Written by trusted experts from the Canadian Paediatric
Society
* Covers important issues including literacy promotion, screening
for disabilities, medication options, and much more
* Gives physicians the tools they need to help children with
learning disabilities
Physicians want to know more about learning disabilities, and
parents want their pediatricians and family physicians to provide
more help when their kids struggle in school. Children with
School Problems provides that information, making it an
invaluable resource for any doctor working with kids.
