内容简介

Now in its sixth edition, this is the leading reference book for professionals working or preparing to work with children with disabilities and their families. A trusted bestseller since its first edition was published more than 25 years ago, Children with Disabilities has been reviewed and updated by leading authorities, so readers can be sure they're getting the latest research on a wide range of disabilities (see Selected Contents). Readers will also learn from expanded content on key topics, such as prenatal and newborn screening, epidemiology, movement disorders, cognitive testing and screening, toxins, fetal infections, X-linked intellectual disability, and psychiatric disorders. This comprehensive text covers all the developmental, clinical, educational, family, and intervention issues included in previous editions, and it's enhanced with user-friendly features: chapter objectives, vivid vignettes, more than 200 helpful illustrations, and extensive appendices about cognitive testing and screening, medications, resources, syndromes, and inborn errors of metabolism.
