Fast and easy to complete, The Capute Scales requires minimal equipment and can be administered in just 6 to 20 minutes. Because the tests measure functioning across two streams of development, they help clinicians distinguish between global developmental delays and specific areas of concern. Created for clinical settings, The Capute Scales is an effective and efficient assessment tool for general pediatric practice and for specialists such as developmental pediatricians, speech-language pathologists, and occupational therapists. This standardized instrument will assist clinicians in making developmental diagnoses, counseling families, and guiding them to appropriate intervention services.

Broad in scope and meticulous in detail, these two volumes encompass the third edition of this textbook for neurodevelopmental pediatrics. Written by physician experts, these volumes discuss the epidemiology, etiology, assessment, and treatment of a range of neurodevelopmental disabilities in infants and children. Volume I offers an extensive discussion of the scientific basis, etiologies, assessment, and practice issues for neurodevelopmental disabilities. Volume II explores a broad range of specific disorders describing their effects from infancy through adolescence and explaining the latest assessment and intervention strategies for each. This edition emphasizes the training needs of people entering pediatrics programs in neurodevelopmental disabilities. The contents of each volume have been expanded to provide more coverage of emerging topics. Specific changes include a separate section on autism and separate discussions of learning disorders and attention disorders.
