From Assessment to Treatment

Linkage to Interventions with Children

  • Chapter
Book cover Assessment Issues in Child Neuropsychology

Part of the book series: Critical Issues in Neuropsychology ((CINP))

Abstract

Within the past decade, child clinical neuropsychologists have been called upon increasingly to make relevant and informed recommendations for the treatment of both documented (i.e., traumatic head injury) and putative (i.e., learning disabilities) neurologically based developmental disorders. This increase in requests for specific therapeutic recommendations reflects a change in how the role of the child clinical neuropsychologist is perceived and, in particular, how the data obtained from neuropsychological assessments are used.
