Abstract
Historically, the clinical discipline of neuropsychology evolved primarily for the purpose of evaluating the effects of brain damage in adults. Application of neuropsychological theory, techniques, and methods to the clinical evaluation and management of children, who may or may not have documentable neurological disorder, is a recent, relatively less well developed phenomenon.
