This third edition of Disorders of Development and Learning builds upon the
superb foundation established by the previous editions while maintaining its
basic text format. The first section provides information on various assessments
and general management procedures. Theories of development and learning are
described to provide a theoretical system for a scientific method of management.
Commonly used assessment procedures from such professionals as psychologists and
speech and language clinicians are examined in addition to providing information
on developmental screening and early intervention. The second section of the
book provides specific information about the most common developmental and
learning disorders likely to be seen by the primary care clinician.
