Very impressive, and brilliantly written." -- Teresa Allissa Citro, Chief Executive Officer, Lea "Most educators will repeatedly encounter children or youth with neurological disorders in their daily practice, though many are not trained in working with these students. They need a compact, comprehensive, and comprehensible guide to neurological syndromes. Frank Vargo provides this guide. Neurodevelopmental Disorders excellently masters the balancing act of providing well-grounded information in an easy-to-read format. Well done!" -- Matthias Grunke, PhD, Professor and Chair, De "Neurodevelopmental Disorders breaks the complex nomenclature of the DSM-5 into understandable conditions. Through the use of clear language and case studies that illustrate each disorder in real-world scenarios, Dr. Vargo makes the various syndromes come to life. A balanced presentation of clinical and practical nuances, this is the perfect book for parents and educators alike." -- Micheline Malow, PhD, Associate Chair, Department
