Children with mild neuro-developmental problems, say Stein and Chowdhury (both UK-based consultants in child and adolescent psychiatry), constitute an "invisible" demographic and are often perceived simply as anti-social, defiant, or naughty. School professionals and parents are the intended audience for this book, in which contributors discuss young people, identified as "disorganized children," whose symptoms are mild enough to elude formal diagnosis but who may benefit from treatments applied to ADHD, Tourette and Asperger syndromes, dyslexia, epilepsy, OCD and other neurological conditions. Coverage begins with patterns of normal childhood development and then proceeds to discussion of 18 neuro-developmental problems and to "sub-clinical" cases--children with a limited sense of other people, fear of failure, patchy cognitive function, and poor attention span. The final section outlines options for treatment and supportive classroom strategies. Annotation ©2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
