Request a sales quoteThe Handbook of Rehabilitation Sciences series is a multi-volume, multi-disciplinary handbook of rehabilitation sciences which provides a single vehicle for the many fields that converge on rehabilitation. These fields each have an independent literature and language that does not converge on the practice of related disciplines. This results in a fractured rather than holistic understanding of what is necessary for a science of returning the impaired to optimized function. This project provides a unified platform for the cross– disciplinary presentation of ideas in rehabilitation sciences thereby creating a resource for practitioners and researchers in all disciples associated with rehabilitation applications.
Rehabilitation of Neurodevelopmental Disorders provides an in-depth reference to neurodevelopmental disabilities, including concepts, definition and epidemiology of disabilities affecting children. The volume editors explore how each disability is diagnosed using screening methods and imaging techniques. The volumes continues with neonatal and early interventions and rehabilitations for autism, ADD/ADHD, childhood OCD and more.
- The volumes included in the series present critical ideas, theories, proof-of concept for technology solutions
- They present data based evaluative research to facilitate return to work or more effective functional development in children and adults
- Each chapter takes a major question in the field of rehabilitation and builds databased theory and practice applications that support a particular approach or method
