{"product_id":"neurodevelopmental-disabilities-isbn-9781898683674","title":"Neurodevelopmental Disabilities","description":"Neurodevelopmental disabilities are a common problem in child health. This book takes a comprehensive approach to addressing these often challenging clinical diagnoses. In particular, it focuses on the two most common of childhood neurodevelopmental disabilities: global developmental delay and developmental language impairment. It seeks to put forward our present conceptualization of these entities as well as their proper evaluation and assessment and diagnosis from a variety of perspectives. It also provides details on our current understanding of the scientific basis of these disorders and their underlying causes. Issues related to medical management, rehabilitation, and eventual outcomes are also addressed in a detailed way. The book has wide appeal to those in paediatrics, developmental paediatrics, child neurology, and paediatric rehabilitation. Its geographic appeal includes both developed and developing nations as some chapters are devoted to the particular issues faced in underdeveloped countries. The book’s focus on both clinical and scientific aspects is invaluable in this field. It also provides extensive information in a single source relating to often-overlooked areas such as medical management, rehabilitation, public policy, and ethics.  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAN OVERVIEW OF NEURODEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITY\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCONCEPTS AND DEFINITIONS IN NEURODEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITY\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eMichael Shevell (Canada)\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTHE EPIDEMIOLOGY OF SELECTED NEURODEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES: AN OVERVIEW\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eMarshalyn Yeargin-Allsopp and Carolyn Drews-Botsch (USA)\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTHE CHANGING PANORAMA OF PRESCHOOL DISABILITY: BIOMEDICAL AND SOCIAL RISK\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eMichael E.
