About this book
Reviews
From the reviews:
“Experts in this field provide a current review of specific topics in developmental disabilities in children and young adults in this book. … It seems to be targeted at residents and general practitioners likely to be called upon to treat these patients within their practice. It provides a good basic reference for this purpose. … This is a very readable and useful source of information for the management of children with developmental disorders within a general practice.” (Michael G. White, Doody’s Book Reviews, February, 2012)
“A very useful book for pediatricians, developmental health professionals, pediatric neurologists and psychologists. … This volume reviews in 31 chapters the diagnosis, discusses the wide spectrum of pathology as part of a series of diseases and body systems, as well as outcomes and counseling.” (Pediatric Endocrinology Reviews (PER), Vol. 9 (1), September, 2011)
