Paediatric Neuropsychological Assessment II: Domains for Assessment

Abstract

The field of Paediatric Neuropsychology has grown in recent years and specialisation now requires post-doctoral training and specialist clinical supervision. This chapter outlines key areas of measurement and highlights important considerations when interpreting neuropsychological data. For both children with and without identified brain related problems, a neuropsychological assessment can be extremely valuable in understanding why a child is struggling with learning, emotionally or behaviourally. © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd
