Pediatric Neuropsychology: Research, Theory, and Practice. Cet article n’est pas disponible.Pediatric Neuropsychology: Research, Theory, and Practice

Recognized as the definitive reference and text on the relationship between brain health and behavior in children and adolescents, this volume is now in a third edition with 75% new material, including major updates throughout and numerous new chapters. Leading experts provide a neuropsychological perspective on medical, neurological, genetic, and developmental disorders that are frequently seen in clinical practice. The volume examines the impact of each condition on the developing brain; explores associated cognitive, behavioral, and psychosocial impairments; and shows how the science translates into achieving better outcomes for children.

H. Gerry Taylor, PhD, ABPP-CN, is a pediatric neuropsychologist at the Center for Biobehavioral Health (CBH) at the Abigail Wexner Research Institute, Nationwide Children’s Hospital, Columbus, Ohio, and Professor of Pediatrics at The Ohio State University. Dr. Taylor heads an initiative at CBH to further understanding of neurodevelopmental outcomes for children with brain-related disorders. He has contributed to research on several neurodevelopmental conditions, including preterm birth, traumatic brain injury, and speech sound disorders, as well as to clinical trials for children with sleep disorders and young adults with Down syndrome. Dr. Taylor is also collaborating on the creation of a parent-based assessment of infant development. His research aims to increase knowledge about child and family consequences of brain-related disorders as well as medical and environmental factors that predict child development.
