Evaluation and Treatment of Neuropsychologically Compromised Children

Evaluation and Treatment of Neuropsychologically Compromised Children: Understanding Clinical Applications Post Luria and Reitan provides a clinically grounded exploration of executive functioning in children and adolescents. Building on the foundational work of A. R. Luria and Ralph M. Reitan, the book bridges classical neuropsychological theory with contemporary assessment and intervention practices. It offers practitioners a clear framework for understanding, evaluating, and treating executive function difficulties in both typically developing children and those with neuropsychological and special education needs.
