Children With School Problems (ePub)

The physician's guide to diagnosing and treating learning
disabilities in children

1 in 10 Canadians have a learning disability, and doctors must
be able to identify, diagnose, treat, and manage children who are
struggling in school. The first book specifically tailored for the
needs of physicians working with kids with learning disabilities,
Children With School Problems: A Physician's Manual covers
such important areas as child development, diagnosing learning
disabilities (including data gathering, screening and assessment,
and physical examinations), management (medication, behavioral
management, and educational interventions), and prevention
(including literacy promotion).

Written by trusted experts from the Canadian Paediatric Society,
Children With School Problems is filled with practical tools
and resources that physicians--including paediatricians,
family physicians, and paediatric learners--can use to
diagnose and treat children with learning disabilities.

invaluable resource for any doctor working with kids.
