Diagnosing Learning Disorders Summary

Diagnosing Learning Disorders: A Neuropsychological Framework, Second Edition by Bruce F. Pennington (Bruce F. Pennington, PhD, Distinguished University Professor of Psychology, University of Denver, CO)

In this relatively new and rapidly evolving area of child clinical practice where professionals evaluate large numbers of children with learning problems, very little exists in the way of uniform standards or approaches, either within or across disciplines. This timely volume presents a classification system of learning disorders in children, reviews the research supporting such a system, and provides a usable, practical guide for practitioners in different disciplines faced with the clinical problem of diagnosing and treating learning disorders in children.

Diagnosing Learning Disorders Reviews

This updated work has been eagerly awaited. Pennington provides a basic understanding of the most common learning disorders, complete with the latest genetic and neuroscientific knowledge and clear examples of clinical presentations. In the second edition, the review of unproven therapies is novel and will surely prove useful to clinicians, who are frequently asked by families about these treatments. This volume will become a classic for graduate students and practitioners in pediatric neuropsychology, child clinical psychology, and educational psychology. - Deborah Waber, Department of Psychiatry, Harvard Medical School, Children's Hospital Boston, USA
