Abstract
Neuropsychological assessment of children has expanded substantially in recent years, with a broadening of goals, assessment approaches, and populations served. Knowledge acquired from various disciplines including developmental and cognitive psychology, clinical neurosciences, and child psychiatry is increasingly being incorporated into child neuropsychological assessment models. An attempt is made in this chapter to highlight recent trends in child neuropsychological assessment. A broad presentation of the major domains, issues, and developments is presented. Our goal is to provide clinically useful information and multiple citations to point the reader to sources where more detailed consideration of each issue is provided.
