The rate of neurodevelopmental disabilities, including autism,
mental retardation, hearing loss and attention deficit
hyperactivity disorder is rising in the United States. Although
estimates of the prevalence of these disorders vary, figures from
the CDC indicate that 4% of all school age children are
developmentally disabled. During infancy, many important milestones
in behavioral development are shared between human and nonhuman
primates. Learning more about the causes of abnormal development in
monkeys has provided important insights into the mechanisms
underlying neurodevelopmental disabilities in human infants. This
book documents the latest research not commonly found in other
references, and provides a comprehensive look at the results from
decades of work with nonhuman primates as it relates to child
development and disability.
* Includes hot topics such as early chemical exposures,
immunological influences on development, low birth weight,
endocrine disrupters, pediatric AIDS, origin of childhood
psychopathologies and assisted reproductive technology
* Represents the significant body of work accumulated since funding
for research on developmental disabilities has increased
substantially in recent years
