Integrating Neuropsychological and Psychological Assessments is a
resource for neuropsychologists, psychologists, teachers and
parents who wish to address both the neurologically- and
emotionally-based difficulties with which their children are
presenting. In addition to a thorough description of
neuropsychological and psychological assessment tools, this book
also provides professionals with a unified approach to using the
results from assessments to understand and integrate cognitive,
behavioral, social and emotional functioning in school-age
children. It posits that to educate and treat children who are
struggling in school due to unique cognitive or emotional
vulnerabilities, the whole child must be considered to decipher
their needs and implement interventions. Cultivating a therapeutic
relationship that integrates the emotional and relational
functioning of the child enhances both their learning and ability
to successfully navigate the world.
Neuropsychological and psychological evaluations in school settings
are often rich in detail about a child's cognitive, academic and
emotional functions, and come with specific recommendations to
support the child's performance in school. However, there is often
a gap between the assessment results and the implementation of the
recommendations, since learning specialists and teachers frequently
do not have the means to both interpret and implement the
recommendations. This manual presents clear and specific guidelines
for school counselors and teachers to decode and put into practice
evaluation findings. The book begins by describing various
functional domains that are assessed in a neuropsychological
evaluation, and then notes how to recognize behavior and learning
styles impacted by difficulty in one of more of the domains.
Furthermore, it outlines activities that could be used in the
classroom or other environments to support a child's weaknesses,
develop new skills, or appear to particular strengths. Finally,
ready-to-use worksheets and activities are offered. This is an
essential tool for school psychologists, special education
teachers, and learning specialists and counselors.
