Clinical Evaluation of Infants and Young Children

Approaches to clinical practice advanced in recent year are mostly directed at older children and adolescents. There has not been a similar focus on the infant and young child. To date, theoretical models developed for older children and adults have had little impact on clinical practice with young children. The absence of a model of neuropsychological development that spans the entire age range is limiting and in part responsible for the relative lack of attention directed to the very youngest children.
