Neurodevelopmental Disorders by Frank E Vargo
Developmental deficits in learning and communication in young children are defined as neurodevelopmental disorders. This constellation, newly defined in the DSM-5, represents a range of issues that educators must address. Outlining the learning disorders from a teacher’s perspective, this book offers a practical understanding for educators.

Every professional in the field of special education needs to read itVery impressive, and brilliantly written." -- Teresa Allissa Citro, Chief Executive Officer, Lea "Most educators will repeatedly encounter children or youth with neurological disorders in their daily practice, though many are not trained in working with these students. They need a compact, comprehensive, and comprehensible guide to neurological syndromes. Frank Vargo provides this guide. Neurodevelopmental Disorders excellently masters the balancing act of providing well-grounded information in an easy-to-read format. Well done!" -- Matthias Grunke, PhD, Professor and Chair, De "Neurodevelopmental Disorders breaks the complex nomenclature of the DSM-5 into understandable conditions.
