This book helps readers understand, teach, and support children
with persistent low academic achievement who don't meet special
education eligibility criteria, or for whom Tier 2 MTSS
interventions are insufficient. Designed to be implemented in
inclusive classrooms with minimal resources, comprehensive chapters
cover topics from reading, writing, and math to executive
functions, SEL, and mental health. This critical, ground-breaking
volume provides teachers, psychologists, and counselors with an
understanding of the issues children and adolescents with mild
cognitive limitations and other causes of low academic achievement
face, as well as detailed, evidence-based teaching practices to
support their academic and social and emotional learning.
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.

Educators often face the pressure to address children's medical
needs within the school setting, but sometimes find themselves
having to make difficult decisions without adequate training,
support, or information about important pediatric issues. When
faced with a medical question, many may turn to the Internet where
information is sometimes reliable, sometimes not. This concise and
well-researched investigation into pediatric health issues provides
credibility and verifiability of data and establishes a foundation
of confidence for any educator who must make policy, differentiate
instruction, provide educational accommodations, offer special
education services, collaborate with families, and work with the
community to serve to children's medical, physical, and
psychological needs. Written for school psychologists, counsellors,
administrators, and teachers, this highly practical and
easy-to-understand reference explores childhood immunizations and
describes common childhood ailments, such as otitis media, Tourette
syndrome, bacterial meningitis, and Lyme disease. This book
discusses behavioural issues that may manifest themselves in
classrooms as well as treatment options and intervention
strategies. Each chapter includes a case study, parent handouts,
and a literature review based on the latest and most reliable
scientific research.
