This book synthesizes the most current evidence-based research and
practices on prevention, assessment, intervention, and treatment of
pediatric intellectual developmental disabilities. It provides a
broad empirical framework for innovative practices and discusses
their possible impact on children's future development, ability to
learn, social skills, and quality of life. The book highlights
important findings in cognitive and behavioral development for
children with such disorders as 22q13 Deletion syndrome (i.e.,
Phelan McDermid syndrome), Prader-Willi syndrome, Williams
syndrome, and sex chromosome disorders (e.g., Klinefelter syndrome)
- children often considered untestable, unteachable, and
unknowable. In addition, the book includes case studies that
emphasize a team approach with physicians, families, school
psychologists, and teachers for providing quality research-based
psychological, educational, and mental health services. Topics
featured in this book include: Up-to-date findings on the causes
and symptoms of intellectual disability disorders. Common medical
treatments for children with intellectual disabilities. Therapeutic
interventions for children with intellectual disabilities.
Psychoeducational assessment practices for children requiring
special education assistance. Future directions to support people
with intellectual disabilities. Pediatric Intellectual Disabilities
at School is a must-have resource for researchers, graduate
students, and other professionals in child and school psychology,
psychiatry, social work, special and general education, public
health, and counseling.
