The completely updated and expanded new edition of this well-established text incorporates DSM-5 changes as well as other new developments.

The all-in-one guide covers the whole range of often co-existing neuro-behavioral disorders in children - from attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), obsessive-compulsive disorder, and anxiety, to autism spectrum disorders, nonverbal learning disabilities, Tourette's, sensory integration problems, and executive dysfunction.

A completely revised chapter on the autism spectrum by Tony Attwood explains not only new understanding in the field, but the new diagnostic criteria, and the anticipated usage of the term 'Asperger's Syndrome'. Dr. Kutscher provides accessible information on causes, symptoms, interactions with other conditions, and treatments. He presents effective behavioral strategies for responding to children who display traits of these disorders - whether at home, at school, or in other settings - along with case vignettes and practical tips. Finally, a chapter on the role of medications summarizes current knowledge.

The author's sympathetic yet upbeat approach and skillful explanations of the inner world of children in the syndrome mix make this an invaluable companion for parents, teachers, professionals, and anyone else who needs fast and to-the-point advice on children with special needs.

Industry Reviews

This is the 2nd edition of an 'all-in-one guide' to a wide range of often co-existing special educational needs and disabilities. Written in an easy and accessible style, the author presents information on causes, symptoms, interaction with other conditions and treatments... It is (...) a handy guide for the lay-person or busy parent. The author transforms some of the more complex information and re-packages it into a reader-friendly format for parents/carers or busy professional.
