This book documents the necessity for assessing both the neuropsychological and psychological status of the child as a means to both better understand his or her needs and better implement interventions. The authors detail the process of evaluating the child in the realms of cognition, executive functioning, language, learning, memory, and visual motor integration, the standard domains of a typical neuropsychological evaluation. They also describe the process of testing emotional and social functioning in depth, and then integrating these with all of the above domains to describe the impact on the child s functioning in the real world. How to apply that information and develop strategies to be employed both at home and in school as a means to support the child s academic, behavioral, social, and emotional development is also demonstrated.The book uses three approaches to guide readers through neuropsychological and psychological evaluations and their application: exploring the usage and interpretations of individual tests to evaluate functional neurological and affective domains; examining the application of the results in both home and school settings; and describing both a continuous case study ("the story of Charles") and numerous short vignettes. An appendix will provide a general discussion of the neuroanatomy of each functional domain described in the text, and a glossary of terms and a list of assessment tests will also be included.
