Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Now in its sixth edition, this is the leading reference book for professionals working or preparing to work with children with disabilities and their families. A trusted bestseller since its first edition was published more than 25 years ago, Children with Disabilities has been reviewed and updated by leading authorities, so readers can be sure they're getting the latest research on a wide range of disabilities (see Selected Contents). Readers will also learn from expanded content on key topics, such as prenatal and newborn screening, epidemiology, movement disorders, cognitive testing and screening, toxins, fetal infections, X-linked intellectual disability, and psychiatric disorders. This comprehensive text covers all the developmental, clinical, educational, family, and intervention issues included in previous editions, and it's enhanced with user-friendly features: chapter objectives, vivid vignettes, more than 200 helpful illustrations, and extensive appendices about cognitive testing and screening, medications, resources, syndromes, and inborn errors of metabolism. Book News Annotation:Batshaw (academic medicine, Children's National Medical Center,
Washington D.C., and pediatrics, George Washington U.) et al. provide
a textbook for students preparing to work with children with
disabilities and their families, as well as educators, physical and
occupational therapists, speech-language pathologists, psychologists,
and others. It contains 42 chapters by pediatric and other medical
specialists from the US. Along with genetics, developmental, and
environmental causes, they discuss specific disabilities and genetic
syndromes and interventions. Chapters in this edition have been
rewritten to include an expanded focus on psychosocial,
rehabilitative, and educational interventions and provide information
relating to recent educational, medical, and scientific advances.
Five chapters are new, addressing environmental toxins, infections
and the fetus, newborn screening, patterns of development and
disability, and epidemiology.
