Description
Ip Innovative Publication Pvt Ltd A Paediatrician’S Approach to A Child With Special Needs by Dr Nandita Chattopadhyay
This book deals with the various aspects of neurodevelopment, developmental challenges, childhood disability, and special needs, thus providing the reader with a basic knowledge about the diseases involved, the clinical approach, and various modes of management and prevention. The book starts with the basics of brain development for better understanding, gradually going on to deal with the various clinical conditions. All common conditions leading to ‘special needs’ in a child have been discussed so that in one book the reader gets answers to all related queries. Children with special needs are a heterogeneous group of patients and to cater to them, a paediatrician requires to have a wide spectrum of knowledge about various medical conditions and their medico-social implications, much of which is dealt with very scantily during post-graduate training. The dearth of an all-inclusive reading material covering all the aspects of developmental paediatrics has also been a felt need by most students. This book is an attempt to bridge this gap and bring all relevant information together in a comprehensive manner and provide the reader with a wide-angled view of the subject. The language has been kept lucid and clear throughout, promoting easy reading and better understanding.
