Synthesizing cutting-edge knowledge from multiple disciplines, this
book explores the impact of acquired brain injury and developmental
disabilities on children's emerging social skills. The editors
present an innovative framework for understanding how brain
processes interact with social development in both typically
developing children and clinical populations. Key issues in
assessment are addressed, including ways to measure both social
function and brain function using developmentally sound tools.
Balancing theoretical and clinical concerns, the book describes
promising interventions for promoting children's adjustment and
helping them participate more fully in the social world.
Illustrations include six color plates.
