School Neuropsychology, Second Edition

“The second edition of this valuable text provides a well-organized approach to an area of training and practice that has become increasingly complex. It offers school psychologists and trainees a supportive framework to begin to understand the brain–behavior relationships that underlie typical and atypical development. The book is formatted so that information is easily referenced when new issues arise in the school setting.”--Rachel W. Robillard, PhD, private practice, Austin, Texas

“Little did my colleague and I know when we introduced the term ‘school neuropsychology’ over four decades ago that it would evolve into such a widely recognized and in-demand specialization. The second edition of this seminal work should be required reading for graduate students in school and clinical psychology, as well as seasoned practitioners. It provides a rich foundation for school-based practitioners seeking to expand their assessment and intervention repertoires. This book is unique in integrating current research with detailed clinical case studies that cut across the many neurodevelopmental, psychiatric, and genetic disorders seen in children and adolescents.”--George W. Hynd, EdD, Distinguished Research Professor Emeritus and former Director, Center for Clinical and Developmental Neuropsychology, The University of Georgia

“What I appreciate most about this book is its scientifically grounded and practical approach to child neuropsychological assessment and intervention. It guides practitioners through every step, from evaluation to planning effective strategies, with clear, real-world prompts. Rather than relying solely on test scores, the authors emphasize direct observation and the interpretation of objective results specific to each child. They stress the importance of integrating information from multiple sources, while also considering developmental, cultural, and contextual factors. Helpful boxed content and case studies serve to deepen understanding and connect theory to practice.”--Irene C. Mammarella, PhD, Department of Developmental and Social Psychology, University of Padova, Italy-
