"In A Clinician's Guide to Normal Cognitive Development in Childhood, every chapter provides students and established professionals with an accessible set of descriptions of normal childhood cognition, accompanied by suggestions for how to think about normal development in a clinical context. Each sub-topic within cognitive development is explicated through a succinct presentation of the empirical data in that area, followed by a discussion of the clinical implications. With an extensive review of data and clinical practice techniques, professionals and students alike benefit enormously from this resource."--BOOK JACKET.
