Publisher's Synopsis
This book explains clearly how to examine and assess a young child presenting with a possible neurological problem. It is not a textbook of paediatric neurology and does not aim to describe the management of neurological conditions. Rather, the emphasis is on the logical approach to identifying the child's problem, and encompasses a thorough assessment of the child's needs. The book includes a comprehensive section on developmental assessment from birth through the preschool years; it also reviews all the specialised investigation techniques with which the clinician needs to be familiar. The authors are both experts in their field and write from a wealth of clinical experience. Their concern for the child within his family and wider environment is underlined throughout the text. The skills involved in the neurological evaluation of the child are carefully and thoroughly explained, making this book essential reading for any doctor concerned with the care of children.
