This includes such topics as:         ADHD       disruptiveness and challenging behaviour in schools and classrooms       dyslexia and reading disability       eating disorders       oppositional defiance, conduct and attachment disorders      childhood depression       school refusal       developmental coordination disorder (dyspraxia)       less common mental health problems, such as bipolar disorder and obsessive compulsive disorder.      traumatic and stressful situations       drug and solvent abuse.  The third edition of this book includes brand new insights from the fields of genetics and neuroscience and ensures claims for the effectiveness of specific interventions are supported by rigorous, scientific evidence. By drawing upon high level scientific and clinical knowledge and distilling it in a way that is accessible to professionals from a range of child care disciplines, this book will be of significant value to those working in education, health or social care, and anyone who needs to be able to recognise and help children in difficulty.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49942148710673,"sku":"GOR013819959","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52435505545489,"sku":"GOR011340401","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53509668798737,"sku":"GOR007545960","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0415672635.jpg?v=1751072233"},{"product_id":"dyslexia-book-julian-elliott-9781474233750","title":"Dyslexia","description":"Dyslexia is often presented as a clearly delineated condition that can be diagnosed on the basis of appropriate cognitive tests with corresponding forms on intervention. However, this approachable text explores the issues behind this assertion in bringing together leading figures in the field to debate dyslexia.  Julian Elliott shows that understandings and usage of the dyslexia label vary substantially with little consensus or agreement and in putting forward his critique draws upon research in several disciplinary fields to demonstrate the irrationality of these arguments. Roderick I. Nicolson demonstrates that current approaches to understanding, identification and support of dyslexia are catastrophically flawed in terms of their failure to consider the developmental nature of dyslexia. He develops two themes: first that the underlying cause of dyslexia is ‘delayed neural commitment’ for skills and neural circuits, and second that the cause of the reading disability is the introduction of formal instruction before the dyslexic child’s neural circuits for executive function are sufficiently developed. He argues that a more effective and cost-effective approach to identification and support involves ‘assessment for dyslexia’ rather than ‘of dyslexia’. Elliott and Nicolson respond to the points each other raise before Andrew Davis investigates how far the key claims of Elliott and Nicolson can withstand close conceptual investigation, and explores the inherent limitations of scientific research on this topic, given the value and conceptual issues concerned.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50465730527505,"sku":"GOR012914388","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50522570981649,"sku":"GOR009364919","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1474233759.jpg?v=1752056548"},{"product_id":"children-in-difficulty-book-julian-elliott-9780367538866","title":"Children in Difficulty","description":"This fully updated fourth edition of Children in Difficulty explores some of the most common, yet incapacitating, difficulties often encountered by young children and adolescents.
