..". T]his book provides valuable information on taking care of
children with complex mental health challenges. Chapters present
information in tabular format, which makes the book easy to use in

other cognitive disorders."Children With Multiple Mental Health
Challenges" presents an innovative, evidence-based approach to
understanding and treating this difficult population that

academic challenges, delays in speech and language, problems with
attention and concentration, sensory integration problems, and
