Extract

The author states that this book was written for a target audience of school psychologists, child psychologists, and educators. The intent of the book is to provide this audience with a knowledge base for traumatic brain injury, including basic neuroanatomy, sequelae of TBI, assessment practices, family issues, and interventions. One may presume from various hints that the author's primary purpose, in fact, is to provide school psychologists with the know-how to provide much-needed services to the students in their schools who do not have access to pediatric neuropsychologists. With this goal in mind, the menu includes an appetizer of neuroanatomy, a first course of assessment tools, and a second course of school reintegration and intervention strategies.
