Enumerate the Failures in adaptation

Failures in adaptation, such as poor school performance or unsatisfactory peer relationships are usually problems that bring children to the attention of clinical neuropsychologist. Neuropsychological assessment is useful largely to the extent that it helps explain those failures and facilitates more successful future outcomes. Indeed, the broader goal of assessment extends beyond the facilitation of learning and behaviour in the immediate context of school and home to include the promotion of long term adaptation to the demand of adult life.
