Most chapters include, besides references, study questions, lists of resources, and glossaries to facilitate easy comprehension by professionals with different backgrounds - in special education, communication sciences and disorders, clinical and counseling psychology, neuropsychology and psychiatry, social work, pediatrics - and program administrators as well as students, trainees, and educated parents. Caring for Children With Neurodevelopmental Disabilities and Their Families constitutes a crucial new resource for all those professionally and personally concerned with these children."--Jacket.
