Book description

More than half the numbers of children with epilepsy have interrelated language, learning and/or behavior complications. By adulthood, these problems can interfere with socialization and employment. The seizures may be controlled but the developmental distortions can continue to present problems for health and education systems and carers. In this comprehensive and fully referenced book, William Svoboda distils a lifetime of clinical experience with childhood epilepsy into three areas which address each of the main areas of difficulty. In each he looks at why the problems arise and assesses diagnostic and remediative approaches. The focus is on the whole care of the child rather than on diagnosis, classification and medication alone. Clinicians, mental health practitioners, educators and speech–language pathologists will find this book invaluable.

Review of the hardback:'… this is a bench book for Child Neurology departments and its ample scope and extensive references will prove of value there. Its distinguished author's experience is well worth attending to.'

Review of the hardback:'The author provides an excellent overview of literature relating to the topic. He successfully adds to current understanding by adopting a holistic approach in his attempt to promote an awareness of some of the complications experienced by a significant number of children with epilepsy. A well-written, evidence based book, which will appeal to epilepsy nurse specialists and other neuroscience nurses with a developing interest and knowledge in childhood epilepsy.'
