This essential guide is a research-based practical handbook for assessing global developmental delay and other neurodevelopmental disorders in young children.

Including a chapter of illustrative case studies of children with developmental disorders, this book will be essential reading for educational, clinical, and developmental psychologists working with children and their families, as well as post-graduate students training in the field.Neil Nicoll is a Fellow of the Australian Psychological Society College of Educational and Developmental Psychologists, providing services for children with developmental delays and disorders, training programs for psychologists and paediatricians, and presentations at international conferences.
