Advances in Clinical Child Psychology

Part of the book series: Advances in Clinical Child Psychology ((ACCP,volume 9))

Abstract

Neuropsychological assessment with children is increasingly becoming a desired, if not expected, service to be performed by clinical child psychologists. Unlike traditional psychological assessment with children, neuropsychological assessment encompasses many different techniques and serves a different purpose (Gaddes, 1980; Hynd & Obrzut, 1981; Knights & Stoddart, 1984). Generally, the purpose of neuropsychological assessment with pediatric patients is to differentiate children whose disorders are either functional or organic, to document the extent of neuropsychological involvement, and, in organic conditions, to chart the temporal interactions between ongoing development and recovery or deterioration of function. In response to this increased need for neuropsychological assessment with children, several standardized batteries are available, complemented by a host of ancillary techniques and procedures.
