This indispensible resource introduces an expanded test structure with additional subtests. Each chapter offers valuable advice on clinical applications. The authors illustrate how to gain an understanding of a childs specific areas of strength and weaknesses and how to translate these cognitive assets and deficits into appropriate suggestions for intervention. Provides a broad-based interpretive system that integrates cognitive neuroscience, developmental psychology, clinical neuropsychology, and CHC theory. This allows examiners to select the method of interpretation of profiles, indexes, and bio-behaviors that is most conducive to their personal orientation and best meets the need of each particular child referred for examination. Includes clinical case reports that illustrate a range of issues including specific learning disabilities, autistic spectrum disorder, traumatic brain injury, intellectual disability/mental retardation, ADHD, and intellectual giftedness. Each case report includes examples of administration and scoring.
