Product Description

Review

"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

Product Description

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

5.0 out of 5 stars Eye-opener, 25 Jun 2001

By M. Hohn "Mike H" - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Diagnosing Learning Disorders: A Neuropsychological Framework (Hardcover)

I came across this book a few years back and found that it had a strong influence on how I thought about and conceptualized learning disorders. Pennington does a nice job of integrating research with case studies. The NVLD chapter especially had an effect upon how I conceptualized assessment data and presented it to parents and professionals. A good survey of the neuropsychological underpinnings of various learning disorders. The material in each chapter has been covered in greater depth in other writings, but this provides a good overview and catalyst for changing the way one thinks about learning disorders. May be a bit technical for nonprofessionals, but Pennington's writing style is generally readable.
