ABC of Neurodevelopmental Disorders

An accessible and up-to-date discussion of the most common neurodevelopmental disorders

ABC of Neurodevelopmental Disorders

In ABC of Neurodevelopmental Disorders, Dr Munib Haroon delivers an insightful and practical introduction to various neurodevelopmental conditions, as well as discussions about their most common comorbid mental health conditions.

The author offers a broad overview of neurodiversity and neurodevelopmental disorders to help you understand how people who are neurodivergent may present in a clinical environment, how they should be assessed, and how they can best be managed. Each chapter provides a list of resources for further reading and for exploring these evolving, important, and fascinating topics in greater detail.

You'll also find:

* A thorough introduction to ADHD, autism, intellectual developmental disorders, tics and Tourette's disorder, developmental co-ordination disorder and specific learning disorder
* An introduction to clinical and non-clinical outcomes for different neurodevelopmental disorders
* Chapters on the assessment of mental health conditions in children, young people and adults with neurodevelopmental disorders
* Discussion about the genetic basis of neurodevelopmental disorders, including a specific chapter on this topic
* A standalone chapter on Foetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder

Aimed at doctors and mental health practitioners including community paediatricians, psychiatrists, psychologists, counsellors, addiction specialists, social workers and trainees in these fields. ABC of Neurodevelopmental Disorders will also benefit healthcare workers who regularly treat neurodivergent people in a variety of settings.
