Edited by Pasquale J. Accardo, M.D.

Expanded with coverage of today’s most critical topics and written by more than 90 physician experts, these two volumes comprise the third edition of the core text for certification in neurodevelopmental disabilities in pediatrics. In Volume I of this definitive resource, students and professionals will get extensive information on the scientific basis of disability, etiologies, assessment, and practice issues. Then, in Volume II, readers will explore more than two dozen specific disorders, their effects from infancy through adolescence, and the latest assessment and intervention strategies for each. Even more comprehensive than the previous edition, these new volumes now include

• separate sections on autism, learning disorders, and attention disorders
  
  
• 13 new chapters on critical topics such as neuroimaging, psychoeducational assessment, Turner syndrome, Rett syndrome, neurochemistry, and molecular genetics
  
  
• more contributors from a broader range of disciplines, including epidemiology, radiology, psychiatry, psychology, occupational therapy, audiology, and opthamology

A necessary textbook for academic pediatrics and a must-have desk reference for every practicing pediatrician, this authoritative resource will help clinicians ensure the best possible care for children with neurodevelopmental disabilities.
